How to disable Steam check autostarting on every user login?

Writer Andrew Henderson

I moved Steam folder to another partition that's not mounted at startup using a symlink: How can I move Steam's download folder?

Now after every login it thinks it's not yet installed. I checked the package files and there are no XDG autostart. Any suggestion how it even gets launched? Nothing in /etc/xdg/autostart, ~/.config/autostart and in systemsettings.

Steam->Settings->Interface->Run Steam when my computer starts not checked.

P.S. I'm on KDE and I don't want to automount the partition.

Found it in /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/steam-install-notify.

Notice: it doesn't belong to any package.

You're trying to keep Steam from starting when a user logs into the computer? I did that on my machine by opening Steam's settings and unchecking the startup option (Steam->Settings->Interface->Run Steam when my computer starts), although I hadn't moved it like you did and I don't use KDE.
