Windows 10: Cannot start Steam Client Service in Regular Mode

I cannot start Steam Client Service in regular mode.


I can start Steam Client service in Safe Mode + with Networking, but then all the other services (graphics card driver etc.) are not started which means I cannot really play any games.



Here's the DMP of the crash:

Group Policy Client Services

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. May I know, which version of Windows is installed on your computer?
   
2. Is your system connected to Domain network?
   

If you are not on a domain network you can try the troubleshooting steps provided below.



Method 1: Winsock reset.

1. Start your PC in safe mode.
   
2. Once you are on the same mode.
   
3. Search for Command Prompt on the Start Menu.
   
4. Right click and Run as Administrator.
   
5. Type in netsh winsock reset
   on the command prompt and hit enter.
   
6. Reboot the computer and check.
   

If you still face the issue you can try the suggestion

How to fix "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access denied." error? Posted by Mohammad Iqubal, However from this article I suggest you not to delete the data, you can try to move
it to a safe location.



If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.

Steam

Hi Sam,

There are several reasons why you are unable to play the game that you installed using the Steam Client. It is possible that the app is corrupted or the permission settings are not enabled on your PC. To resolve your concern, we suggest that you reset the
app.

This process can help restore corrupted game installation files. Here's how:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and then click the Settings icon.
  
• Select System, and then select Apps & features.
  
• Find the game, and then click on Advanced options.
  
• Click Reset.
• Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

You may visit this
link for the instructions on how to enable app permissions on your PC.

Make sure that you are using an administrator account to launch the app. If you are still experiencing the same issue, remove the
ClientRegistry.blob file by following the steps below:

• Close the Steam Client and go to the Steam root folder or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.
• Look for the ClientRegistry.blob file.
• Make a copy of the file and change it to a different file name. (for example, copy.ClientRegistry.blog)
• Delete the original file.
• Launch the Steam Client and run your game again.

If the issue persists, you may relocate the Steam Client by performing the steps below:

• Close the Steam Client app and go to the Steam installation folder.
• Browse for the installation files that you would like to move.
• Delete all of the files inside that folder except the SteamApps & Userdata and Steam.exe.
• You may cut and paste the whole Steam installation folder to a default storage location on your PC.
• Launch the app again and make sure to log in using your account.

After signing in, you'll need to change the default installation path for the games that you will install in the future. Here's how:

• Launch the Steam Client and go to the Settings
  menu.Select Steam Library Folders from the
  Downloads tab.
• You may create a new path by selecting Add Library Folder. All future installations will go directly to the newly created path.
• Right-click on the newly created path and make sure that it is set to default.

If you are still unable to play your games using the Steam Client, we recommend that you contact
Steam Support directly for additional solutions in fixing the app and its components.

Should you have any other queries, you can contact us anytime.

 

steam client bootstraper wont uninstall

Have you rebooted since uninstalling the Steam Client ?

The bootstraper is just a term for the Steam Client. If you uninstalled Steam via Programs and Features

the 'Bootstraper' should not be on your machine.

Where are you seeing the Steam Bootstraper ? If it's a Resistry key or perhaps still listed in

Task Manager > Startup tab (because of a Registry key) it won't cause any problems.

- If Steam is uninstalled and no longer on the list in Programs and Features you can delete any folders

that Steam may have left behind. Or to be safe, rename the folder and keep it for a while to verify it's

safe to delete.

- Also inquire at Steam support/forums.
