The proper way to exit steam. (This is a how-to, not a question)


Recommended Posts

While searching for a proper way to exit Steam, I encountered numerous posts with the same question, but the common response was to use taskkill. This can be problematic as it might interrupt Steam during a cloud sync. I've discovered a better solution: Steam's built-in quit command. After searching, I haven't found anyone here mentioning it, so I thought I would share.

Create a .bat file with the following (edit Steam's file path to match your installation):

@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" +quit
