Super easy fix! Go to your Steam settings by clicking 'Steam' in the top left corner, then go to 'Settings'. Click on the 'Interface' tab, and there's an option that says 'Run Steam when my computer starts'. Just uncheck that box, and voila! Steam will stop launching itself every time you turn on your computer. Restart your PC to see the changes take effect.
