If you start Steam in Big Picture mode, you will no longer be able to exit it in the traditional way. This practical tip shows you how to return to your Windows desktop.
How to exit Steam's Big Picuture mode
The Steam Big Picure mode runs in full screen by default and therefore cannot be ended like an ordinary application with an X symbol in the top right. Instead, you have to take the detour via the user menu.
- To exit Steam's Big Picure mode, click the power button at the top right of the main screen. There it is directly to the left of the current time. In the new menu, select "Exit Big Picture".
- Note that the power button is only available on the main screen. If you are in the online shop or library, for example, you must first return to the main screen: To do this, click the arrow or the Steam logo in the top left. If you're using an Xbox gamepad, you can also press the Xbox button.
We'll show you what you can do when Steam no longer starts in the next practical tip.
