steam being wayyy slow

[sammuwu]

I log into my computer today and steam is just incredibly slow. everything else is fine like google chrome isnt slow or anything but i get into steam and i cant even type a message to anyone because theres so much delay. i can barely pull up my friends list because its just delayed. the store, profiles, friend activity none of that loads.

Anyways ive looked around and ig with other people the only quick fix is deleting cache and cookies from steam browser. except those people have had issues when they restart steam

The TEMPORARY FIX is about to repair the Steam Service

Exit Steam.
Click Start > Run (Windows Key + R).
Type the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair
Launch Steam and test the issue again.

Note: This command requires administrator privileges and may take a few minutes.
If you have installed Steam to another path, please replace C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam with the correct path.

Warning: Restarting your pc the problem returns :/
But just repeat these tips above to repair Steam again :)

This didn't work for me. Nor did deleting all downloadcache. But what did work was:
1: Run Steam as administrator AND
2: Downgrade all further Windows/Microsoft security-messages

Imo this is not, for most people, a driver- or malwaredetectionissue, most of this lagging problem comes around every 1 or 2 years. I've read almost everything google showed me on this, or simmilar, issue.
When all earlier sollution fail, well...., we're human, adapt and try something else.
Hope this will work for you guys and girls.

Running steam as administrator works. It's a pain in the backside to find that option as well.
