Hello Friends, I am a new member on this forum and I did not find any suitable area to create a topic, so I am posting the thread here. If any mistake please apologize me. I have been playing games on Steam for a long day. But recently I am encountering a weird issue that when I try to open Steam for playing games, it would not open. I use the Steam app, but when I use the web version, it could open easily. I have no idea what could be the issue. Could someone please help me to find out the issue? Thank you, ---

Restart your computer. If that doesn’t work, reinstall Steam. If that doesn’t work, go throw a yoyo. ---

Thank you everyone for your support. Sorry I forget to respond here. Actually yesterday I have resolved the issue with the help of [this](https://silicophilic.com/steam-wont-open/) article. The tasks which I have done. First I updated the graphics drivers, then cleared the Steam cache and then reinstalled Steam. After doing the tasks properly, the problem got solved. Now I have no longer any issues while opening Steam. Thank you once again. ---
