Friday at 01:37 AM4 days Your desktop shortcut is pointing to Steams UID. Have a look at your desktop properties. If you create a new desktop shortcut and point it to your FlightSimulator.exe from your local drive, you wont see Steam pop up.

Friday at 01:43 AM4 days I'm not sure, but I think in those few times that you plan to buy from the marketplace, then you want Steam to pop up when you start msfs2024, or it won't let you do a purchase. But most of the time you don't need Steam to pop up when booting. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

Friday at 05:18 AM4 days Depends on your system and how you have created MSFS2024 on which hard drive etc but, just modify this path as needed and past it into the shortcut location window as your starting target. I'm not sure about the quote marks. They may self-generated, or maybe not?

But most of the time you don't need Steam to pop up when booting.Nah, there is no need for Steam to be running. If you make a market place purchase then when it comes time for payment the appropriate Steam window is called and then your purchasing in Steam. 👍 No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea.
