This has been hapenning for a few months now. Sometimes, whenever I try to close steam I get the error message saying "One or more steam apps are currently running" but I see nothing steam related running at all. I open the process tab and each time it does this, game overlay is running so I have to kill that process to get steam to close.

Any solutions as to why steam is doing this and how I can stop it?

Thanks

I'd suggest contacting Steam support for problems with Steam

They're quite helpful and quick about it too.

Don't worry, At least, Steam will give you real support than Ea ever could. Learned from experience
