Steam – How to prevent profile pages from revealing when I was last online on steam

steam

I always start my steam with "Automatically sign into Friends when I start Steam" disabled.

It seems to work — people can't see if I'm online. But when I check the profiles of my steam buddies, there I can find myself and the time when I was "Online last time".

There the last time is always set to the time when I logged into my account. I don't like it — how to disable this?

Make your Profile Private so that they can't access to your Profile. If you do so, they won't be able to see when you were online, but on the downside, they can't see anything.

It happens now and then, especially when your Steam client has been running for a long time.

The built-in browser drops your session cookies, for some reason, making your current login invalid.

To solve this, either log-in or restart your client.

If you want to do this without starting Steam and logging in, you can modify the setting in the Windows registry. The autostart checkbox is directly tied to a registry key — simply deleting it is all the Steam client does when said checkbox is unchecked.

Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the Steam key. Or as a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Steam"=-
