It's all in the settings. Go to Interface and make sure to check 'Exit Steam when closing the main window'. This way Steam won't stick around after you've closed it.
Super easy fix! Just go to Steam > Settings > Interface and look for the option that says 'Start Steam when my computer starts'. Make sure that's unchecked. Also, check 'Exit Steam when closing the main window'. That way, Steam fully shuts down when you exit out and doesn't just minimize to your taskbar.
Honestly, I never close Steam. I like it running in the background so I can jump back into my games whenever I want. But if you gotta, the settings method is the way to go.
