• macOS:

  • System Preferences (or System Settings): You can manage startup items in System%20Preferences (older macOS versions) or System Settings (newer versions).

    1. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    2. Select your user account.
    3. Click on the "Login Items" tab.
    4. Find Steam in the list and select it.

    2. Go to "Options".
    3. Uncheck "Open at Login".
