Options changed without my input
And I don't see anything in settings to change them back. Steam has recently started automatically creating desktop shortcuts for everything I've installed, which I don't want, and Steam has also turned achievement notifications back on, which are annoying. How do I undo those changes that Steam decided to make without my input?

Steam’s been weird with updates lately. To fix it:

- Disable auto desktop shortcuts:
Go to Steam > Settings > Library > uncheck "Create desktop shortcut for new installs."

- Turn off achievement notifications:
Steam > Settings > Notifications > uncheck “Display a notification” under Achievements.

It probably reset stuff after a recent update. Annoying, yeah.

I never got the notification for the reply to my thread, but neither of those options are in the settings menu. I can only manually uncheck the option to create a desktop shortcut every time I install the game, which is incredibly annoying, but at least it's an option that exists. There's literally no way to turn off achievement notifications, though.
