Having issues with steam software

I'm having an issue where every time i play a game on steam then exit i have to reboot my system before i can boot another game or use the internet (says its still connected and steam tries to boot the game). also my computer will not go to sleep on its own when no programs are running and wakes up at random even after putting it to sleep. a bit of context. i have a corsair h100i. i had to go into my registry and reset some values to get it working properly. also my motherboard (msi z87-gd65) has this lag killer program. both may have something to do with it but i am at a loss as to where i start. I recently upgraded to 10 and had no issues with steam before hand. with 8.1 and the h100 i ive had sleep issues so i figure its mostly unrelated. any ideas?

If you manually kill the 'Steam Client Bootstrapper' process in task manager it should let steam work without a reboot.

 

Do you use the 'lag killer' program? It might be best just to uninstall it.

 Almost as cool as my temps

Killed the bootstrapper and still having the same issue. i would love to delete the lag killer program but i cant seem to find it to delete it in programs and features. it came loaded on my motherboard. funny thing is i can find every other msi program that came with it (super charger, vga ext.). its starting to give me a headache

So i think i figured it out. my "lag killer" is part of my network driver. after upgrading to windows 10 that driver was never updated. i went on to the msi website and found the new driver now named "killer performance suite" by rivet networks installed and now everything is smoother at least i can now use my internet browser after using steam. still having to reboot after every game but now for some reason killing the steam client bootstrapper does work to avoid that. thank you for the response
