See if it also happens in safe mode (with networking, for obvious reasons).
yup it happened in safe mode too

Next idea: Give yourself (that is your user account) full access privilege on the SteamApps folder. While Steam is closed. Then start Steam and see if that happens again.
i dont know how to do that and the problem that i found is that the folder that specifically related to those 2 games just automatically turned into deny mode and i cant even access it even in administrator mode and i cant do anything to it too

Rightclick->properties->security
unable to access it beacuse apparently im not an admin when i have full admin access to literally everything else

Then give yourself ownership of the folders.
i dont know how to do that
also thank you very much for helping me out

Again, rightclicl->properties->security. Go from there. There should be a button labeled "advanced" or similar.
it wont let me, i clicked on security and a literal blank screen comes up and i cant do anything at all
Sorry I don't know.
