What update?  I have Steam installed and have received no such update
that makes the Steam APP behave the way you describe.

If you are saying that you downloaded the Steam OS zip file, unzipped
and installed SteamOS, then I'm going to guess you missed the warnings
that said it would overwrite the hard drive and install SteamOS as the
only OS on the machine...

If you're simply running the Steam app and using Big Picture, then
"Return To Desktop" is one of the options when you click the Exit
menu.
