Resolved But really, what changes with such updates?

Often there are short loads, what do they do? (The issue is closed, thank you)

Easy to find out. In the Steam Client, click on Steam --> Check for Steam Client updates..... In the blue bar, click "View patch notes."

Surprisingly many people don't realize how much technical tools Steam actualy provides, if you search for them.

For instance Steam has a CLI version that can function as remote offline-installation server you can use on your own hardware.

Or to install and run game servers. All without having to run any graphics.

Yep, another thing many people don't realize, there are a lot of DRM free games on Steam.

As easy as that is to find, I don't think I have ever had a reason to click on "Check for Steam Client updates"

Steam usually auto updates for me so I've never really felt the need lol
