Windows 10: PC works fine until I close a steam game, a couple of minutes later it restarts.

My PC is working fine, all drivers up to date. It never misses a beat, it plays any game in steam. But when I exit steam a short while later the PC restarts, not a crash it's just as if I have pushed the soft restart button, I don't get a blue screen or any error messages. It restarts and fails to run several times, eventually it will start and it carries on as if nothing happened. It doesn't crash while I am playing a game, all temperatures are ok during playing, this only happens when I shut steam down, there is always a space of a couple of minutes. This has been happening every time I shut

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.

 

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition closes after about a minute of use

Hi. A couple months ago I was playing Minecraft, and it worked fine. Now, a couple months and a couple updates later, the game will only load for a minute or so before turning white, and then closing. No error message is shown, it simply closes. This happens
whether I try to actually play the game or if I just sit in the menu. I appreciate the help.

 

a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program - PC game (steam)

Hi,

everything was working fine then suddenly my game stops working (steam game).

The game starts fine, main menu comes up normally but whenever i try to go into an actual game a windows message pops up and says

"a problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

then it just crashes and nothing comes up and it keeps saying this message whenever i try to go back into the game.

ive downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my laptop, updated steam, updated the system graphics card, ran anti virus software and deleted a c ouple of things, restarted the laptop several times and still not working (same message pops up and closes
the game)

please advise what i can do to fix this!

thanks,
