When you uninstall the Steam client, you will lose all your games and data with it. It is not a rocket science to realize that you need to re-install the Steam client again to launch it without any issues. However, we cannot be sure that it would always resume where you paused the download before clearing the cache. You can back up that folder and copy it back after clearing the cache. If it is empty, you do not have any downloads paused – but if it shows a certain file size ( say, 5 Gigs) – you have a download to finish. Now, right-click on the “ downloading” folder to check the folder size in its properties. Of course, you cannot launch Steam – so to check what was being downloaded, navigate to the following location: Steam (your Steam Library) -> steamapps To clear the cache, simply press Windows + R to get into the run dialogue box and then type in the following command:īefore clearing the cache, ensure that you have no games/software downloaded halfway, because you might need to re-download them from the start. Similar to how a browser stored cached content, Steam also contains cached data (specifically – cached download data). Now, re-launch Steam, it should check for updates and start right away.
Just right-click on it and click on “ End task” to close Steam. In that case, I simply head to the task manager (by pressing Alt + Ctrl + Del) and then searching for the process “ Steam Client Bootstrapper” under the “ Processes” tab. I try to launch Steam but nothing happens – the steam client runs as a process in the task manager but you do not see it open. Even I do encounter this issue very often. It is really the most simple fix that you can try when nothing happens upon launching Steam. Note: You should have the latest Steam client installed and not accessing it in offline mode for a long time.
