This surely has to be something connected to a setting in Steam?

I am not experiencing anything like this. I have literally scores of
games installed that use Steam. I play many of them of the course of a
week and everything is as I left each game last time I played it.
There are the usual updates and patches, but that's it.

I checked the Steam forum, there's nothing about this. 

Trust me, those forums would be awash with vitriol if this was a
general problem with Steam itself.

I hope you get it sorted soon. It sounds like a horrible glitch to
have to live with.
