Steam client application won’t open on windows 10 computer

Today I had a problem with my Steam client. I would double click on my icon to open Steam and nothing would happen. This is how I fixed this issue on my Windows 10 computer.

 

 

  1. Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  2. find steam.exe and rename it to steam.exe.old
  3. restart your computer
  4. Navigate to steam client installation folder – for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
  5. rename steam.exe.old back to steam.exe
  6. open steam client – it will start installing an update and then it will open Steam application.
