Steam won't open:(

[Barfoed]

Hello Forum

I have a problem that i have had a couple of times and have solved it before. But this time it seems unsovable. When i try to open steam it says that it opens and crashes completely right after. I can see it is running in the background but i cannot open it. I have tried:

1. reinstalling

2. repairing

3. restarting

4. updating (drivers and windows) (I even tried in safe mode)

5. running "steam://flushconfig" program

Nothing worked. So I wonder what my options are. I have been thinking about reeinstalling windows (Again! since I just had a blue screen error that basically made it so i had to reinstall).

I hope someone can help. I have found you guys really helpful before;)

I have this happen once or twice. Force closing Steam and any steam webhelper processes in task manager sorts this issue out for me.

Thank you both. Sadly none of that helped. The list you sent RetroGeneral was the one i have already tried. I tried like 12 of the 17 things on the list.

For some reason I actually got it to work, after two days of trying. I reeinstalled windows and in the beginning that didn't work either, so i have concluded it don't have anything to do with windows. But then I thought I would try to launch a game from my steam libary, which I had on my other disk. It started and wanted to download and then Steam was "open", but the client was still closed. I right clicked on the steam icon in the taskbar, and I clicked on library. This has for some reason worked before and it did again. I quickly pinned steam to the taskbar. Should be said that i haven't had that option before.

It's not much of a solution, but I thought i would put it in here as one, so other people had another possible sollution they could try if they run into the same problem.
