Why Steam is so slow to start?
Steam takes forever to start (5-10s) on AMD ryzen 9 7950x, it's not automatically started on boot. Closing also takes a few seconds. Could that be due to sloppy programming? I am a programmer myself.

If you have an internal graphics card and a dedicated one try turning off the internal graphics card in hardware management.
I don't know if it will work for you but I think it made my boot time for steam to like about a second.
