This is a common problem for Steam users: they can’t open or activate the Steam client for various reasons. Whenever they attempt to run the client, either nothing happens or the application shuts down on its own after a short time.
This problem can be caused by a variety of things, including background Steam programs that aren’t closed or other applications interfering. This problem may be both vexing and alarming, regardless of its underlying source.
The titles in your Steam library are no longer accessible. You’ll be anxious to find a solution to this problem, too. But don’t be alarmed; you’ll be OK! This problem can be solved!
Methods that have worked for many Steam users include the following: Help them open your Steam client as well. Just give them a whirl! Try a few at a time until you discover the one that works for you. You don’t have to try them all.
Steam jobs should be closed in the background.
Steam’s processes or activities may continue to operate in the background even after the client has been entirely shut down. Your operating system refuses to activate the Steam client later because it believes the identical processes have already been running.
These situations need shutting down Steam in Task Manager before opening the client. To accomplish this:
Take a right-click and choose Task Manager or Start Task Manager from a taskbar’s empty area.
2) Ensure that all ongoing Steam jobs have been shut down* (right-click a task and click End task or End processes).
On the same Processes tab in the Task Manager, you’ll see both apps and processes. In contrast, with Windows 7, they may be found on the Application and Process tabs. Windows 7 users must close all Steam windows in both tabs.
3) Check to check whether your Steam client is open by launching it.
Network devices should be restarted
Due to a poor network connection, you may not be able to open your Steam client. Network components such as modems and routers are experiencing corruption.
These problems might even cause your Steam client to crash without your knowledge. Rebooting your network devices will restore them to their default settings and restore them to working order. If your network devices need to be restarted, follow these steps:
Make sure your modem and router are turned off first.
2) Disconnect the modem and router power cords.
Wait a few minutes and see what happens.
4) Reconnect the power cords.
Wait for your modem and router to fully power up before continuing on to the next step.
To see if the Steam won’t open problem has been fixed, restart your computer.
For a short period of time, deactivate your anti-virus protection.
Your antivirus software may be interfering with your Steam and preventing it from working properly. Check whether the problem remains by disabling your antivirus for a short period of time. For information on deactivating your antivirus software, consult your program’s documentation.
If this doesn’t help, contact the provider of your antivirus program and ask for help, or switch to a different one.
IMPORTANT: When your antivirus is turned off, you should take extreme caution with the websites you visit, emails you read, and files you download.

Reinstall your Steam client.
You may be able to address compatibility difficulties or problems with your Steam files by reinstalling your Steam client. To reinstall the Steam client, follow these instructions:
Download the most recent version of the Steam client from the publisher’s website.
2) Once you’ve downloaded the installer, open it. To fix this, just run the Steam client reinstall wizard and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note that this method should only be used to reinstall your client in the same area where it was previously installed. Otherwise, you risk losing all of your saved games and data.
