I don't mean that it opens at the beginning, but whether when it is closed it consumes RAM because where I had it and it was closed I had the feeling that my laptop has become slower but I'm not sure (laptop has 8 GB RAM)
If Steam is no longer running - but has been closed properly as a program, it does not use any RAM.
But 8 rams aren't that much. Maybe you should reset your laptop or uninstall programs and delete outdated files.
Yes, closed of course! Finished is better and doesn't use anything!
I also play tf2 which doesn't actually use that much RAM that would work right? And thank you for your answer
Yes, depending on your other hardware, that should work.
also depends on your internet connection, how smoothly it runs.
