Tried Steam settings and community settings and siuch, but I cannot find any option anywhere how to switch it off or at least hiding it from booting on.


Anybody knowing how to do it?


They won themselves a formidable maelstrom with it, the reactions to it leave nothing to be desired.

Read post of @Genthar

steam icon → friend → setting button on upper right in friend list → turn on memorize open chat.
Then close the friend list, it will not be displayed automatically next time.
