Steam Client Webhelper when Steam is Shutdown?
Regardless of what anybody's ever going to tell me, there's absolutely no reason for the Steam Client Webhelper to be active when Steam is not running!

I've seen tons of information regarding Steam Client Webhelper in forums, blogs, YouTube, even right here in this platform, but failed to find a solution.

I've seen add this (-vgui) or add that ("-no-browser") to the start command of Steam.EXE and go to Task Manager, shut down this process go to details shut down that process... Only for Steam to start up all by itself again? by shutting it down?

I get 7 - 8 - 9 threads coming off Steam Client Webhelper in Task Manager and it's pulling up to 14% of my systems memory resources at this point I'm starting to get a little pissed off. And if I don't even have steam running, that certainly doesn't help.

So now I'm basically tired of looking for the answer and I'll just be another comment attracting attention to it.

So I'm simply gonna say, any bulletproof solution to this aggravating unnecessary issue would be much appreciated.

Seems like a you problem, I am not encountering this.

Are you sure steam is closed completely? Is it still in the bottom right?

If it is, right click it, and press "Exit Steam", then check again.
If you end the wrong process it does refresh them to recover. Exit the main app from the bottom right or ending the correct exe has the best results. Hitting the "x" in the top right of the client only closes the windows.
