Why does Steam take about 10 seconds to open on my new PC?

-

I just built a new PC two days ago, and I’ve noticed that when I click the Steam icon, it takes around 10 seconds before the homepage actually loads. I haven’t updated my BIOS or enabled Expo yet. My specs are a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32 GB of RAM, and a 5070 Ti. Interestingly, my old Legion laptop opens Steam without any delays. Is there a way to fix this issue?

If you’re not using the AMD integrated GPU, consider disabling it in the BIOS or the device manager. Don’t just accept that a 10-second load time is normal; it shouldn’t be that slow for Steam to open. Give that a shot and see if it helps!
