Steam Issue

May not be the right spot but I am trying to figure out what is happening with my Steam. I go into the settings, interface, and set my Favorite Window to show "servers" when I click on it, if I leave my PC on overnight and come home from work the next day, it's reverted back to Store. If I set it and reboot, it's fine. Only seems to be when the PC is left on overnight which is what I do, I rarely turn it off. I have attempted to fix this by deleting the clientregistry blob file, did nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalling, nothing. Steam forums are a a joke and no one is helping. Short of formatting, I don't know what else to try and thought someone here may have run into this and may be able to help. If this is not the right location, please move mods.

Apparently, no one wants to try to help, I guess I will format this weekend and start over. This is getting f***ing aggravating.

What would you like us who don't know to say?

Deal with it?

I'd give you help if I had any clue, I have not one, except to say find out WHEN it resets and what is going on at that time (and that is kinda nuts).

Not a clue sorryzzzzzzzz

Edit: one like is enough.

Deal with it? I am not going to deal with it when it should not be happening in the first place. When it happens, my computer is IDLE.

how well does your system handle hybernation? could it be a problem there? (not a Steam user).

I have no idea why its not saving the start screen for you, but hey it doesn't for me either.
So does your steam open the server page after you start steam after shutting the app down?

If I shut it down and reopen after making the change it works in that situation.

Sounds like a software problem. Formatting and reinstalling probably won't help, I'd just deal with the problem until they fix Steam.

Yea, of course, and it was worthless as no one even responded to my post.

That's my opinion also. Steamworks API still has some issues. Maybe they did it on purpose, wouldn't surprise me. It's true for me also and happens here.

Could try poking here for some help »partner.steamgames.com/. If its important enough, try considering HLSW server tool.

HLSW is for admin and I do use that. You say you are having the issue I am as well?

I've set the favorite window to servers before in settings, closed steam and it go back to the default store page the next day when I came back to the pc ( this was about 2 months ago). I've just tried it now and it is going to the server page as instructed now.

I'm starting to think it could've been a steam update which set my defaults back. But for now it's working like it should.

HLSW you can join directly with like with steam and use for a list, not just the rcon/admin side. But you know that I assume then.

Good luck with that, that's an odd problem.
