Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I expect the steam windows to stay "closed" or hidden or whatever, but instead I come back to this:
SteamWindows

For some reason, every time, if steam is left running, and I lock my computer, and then switch to the work computer via KVM (I have a level1Techs KVM), when I return I'm greeted with a myriad of steam windows that I cannot close.

I went to get the steam client version by clicking on the item in the tray and Library and all the windows closed, except one:
Clicked On Library

Never saw this before the "new" steam version came out recently.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start up steam
  2. Lock desktop
  3. Switch KVM to another computer
  4. Come back to this computer after using other computer for a day
  5. See all the windows
  6. Only way to get rid of all the windows is to Exit steam from the system tray, and start it again.
