<!-- :  class="re0">SteamWebHelper Killer by AveYo v2.0rc
:: When you want to play games without lag, cpu, memory spikes caused by steamwebhelper, launch this.
:: But if you do long trading sessions and other community stuff inside Steam - disable it or set a 30+ timer.
::
:: Only need to run it once, it will be scheduled to run every x minutes, even after reboot.
:: To disable, run this script again and press CANCEL / enter 0 as timer.
::
:: Updating this as it's still needed on many systems, even after Valve's performance patches.
:: Finally fixed the in-game stutter on timer, with a smarter schedulled command - the host process will remain alive. Even a 1 minute timer is stutter-free now.
:: Default timer is set to 4 minutes like the original, anything less will require you to refresh/reopen the steam window too often (annoyiance).
@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
::
:: Change default timer below:
SET REPEAT_TASK_EVERY_MINUTES=4
