Steamworks is unavailable error

Restart Steam, then Wallpaper Engine. Make sure it is logged into the account you own Wallpaper Engine on. If you run either Steam or Wallpaper Engine as administrator, the Steamworks SDK in Wallpaper Engine may not work. The solution is to not run either program as admin, which is the intended way. If it still doesn't work, reinstall Steam and get rid of any anti-virus that blocks communication between different programs.

Again. Try these steps until it works:

• Restart Steam, then Wallpaper Engine.
  
• Make sure you are logged into the Steam account that owns Wallpaper Engine.
  
• Do not run Steam or Wallpaper Engine as administrator.
  
• Disable overzealous anti-viruses (except Windows Defender).
  
• Close Steam idling programs.
  
• Delete cracked Steam games that override Steam's presence on the PC.
  
• Uninstall Wallpaper Engine and Steam. Delete the entire Steam folder. Reinstall Steam and Wallpaper Engine.
