Steam Games Disable Auto Updates

Steam has many ways to keep its users on top of their favorite titles. One of those ways is in the auto-update department, whereby your games' latest versions are automatically downloaded and applied. This requires no input from the end user.

Some people may take issue with that, however — especially those who seldom log into their Steam accounts. It can feel a bit overwhelming, especially as you boot up the app and see the client updating four different games. Steam Games Disable Auto Updates is aptly named in that regard, as it does away with the auto-updating per the user's choice.

There isn't much to installing such a program: run the installation wizard, and you'll know how to proceed from there. Booting up the software will reveal a minimalist, unassuming interface, where instructions on how to use the program are front-and-center.

First, users will have to boot up Steam, and the app will automatically recognize their games. This does not require inputting any sensitive account credentials: the program simply fetches the games it sees in your steamapps folder on your drives.

Upon opening up Steam, users will have to navigate to the utility and click the Refresh button. The detected games will then show up on the list.

The program allows users to turn off auto-updating for individual games, or for all of them. This is done by clicking the green button next to their titles. There's also the option to set an auto-update as high priority: this is useful when you have a game you often play, where being on the latest version matters.

Steam Games Disable Auto Updates is thus a simple piece of software, and it does everything as intended, staying true to its name.
