Steam launcher working bad on windows 7

[Kludson]

I've been using windows 7 since last year and I've never had any problems before until this month, but steam started having problems like taking a long time to open the launcher, the store on black screen, the profile too, after a long time of opening the store and the profile starts to load. So I decided to format the machine and install windows 7 again because my computer is weak, so I installed steam and when I put my login and password for the first time the pop-up that appears for you to enter the steam guard code does not appear or takes a while a lot to appear (on windows 8.1 and 10 it is almost instantaneous) and the same problems mentioned at the beginning continue to persist. It's strange because in the browser I use (Chrome) it works perfectly, but in the launcher it doesn't. I'm looking for someone who knows how to solve or who went through the same situation and managed to solve it. Thanks for your attention.(Sorry for the bad english).

windows 7 is not supported. upgrade to a supported operating system

Windows 7 no longer gets updates from Microsoft as well. You need to get a newer OS.

Actually it does with extended support until January 2023.

As a home user, chances are they've got Windows 7 Home which isn't eligible for extended support. Even if they do have Pro, it would still make more sense to purchase a newer version of Windows now. Otherwise they've got purchase the extend support for just less than a year, and then spend more money to upgrade their OS when it's no longer supported.

But this problem has been happening for a while, I don't think that's the reason

I`m on windows 7 and i don`t have those issues. I hope you are not using a pirated copy of windows.

Win7 is still supported afaik

Chrome, Steam and Microsoft still have support for Win7

Unless someone can link to where Steam has ended support, there is no reason to assume they have. They ended support for XP and Vista in 2019, but have not stopped support for Win7.

Steam officially supports Windows 7 and above. As of January 2019, Steam no longer supports Windows XP and Windows Vista.

Though, considering less than 5% of Steam users still use anything under Win10 or Win11, it is probably time to start thinking about making the switch.

Consumers do not have access to ESU support for Windows 7. You must be a Premier Support to get that and then you have to pay ever increasing escalating fees per license to get support. In fact this year the support for ESU is $200 per computer

No one running Steam has Corporate level Premier Support (which again is a corporate only level support plan and is stupendously expensive) and is paying $200 for support on top of that.

No. I just downloaded the latest security updates, maybe this is the cause of the problem?

The errors started appearing out of nowhere, even on the same day it started I was playing csgo with my friends. I closed the game and a few hours later I opened it to play again, when I opened it, it didn't connect to any game. I decided to close Steam and open it again, from there the errors started to appear, all on the same day, it was all very strange and I still don't understand.

Its on your end then because I run win.7 pro and the only issue have been going is the stuttering when scaling or dragging around is the friend's list window.
That is the only issue have been for months after that there is nothing as you are dealing. So my assumptions lead to be particularly to you.

Maybe not about operating system but something else like another program or viruses or maybe just your connection router.

still run win 7 and have no issues with steam, your issue isnt related to steam and win 7.

also dont listen to the people talking about win 7 being "unsupported" that has nothing to do with the topic or anything related, keep using win 7 as long as you want, win 7 is much better than either win 10 or 11.
