I've entered a little problem. Everytime i restart my PC
Every time i restart my PC, I open up steam, and gives me an error saying : The steam service component is not working properly on this computer Reinstalling the steam service requires administrator Privileges.

Now. Everytime i open "Services" Steam is always disabled, I always Activate it, but.. Any idea why it actually happenes?

This may also indicate a Steam Service failure. Please try enabling the Steam Service:
Exit Steam.
Click Start > Run (Windows Key + R)
Type the following command:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\Steamservice.exe /Install

(If you have installed Steam to another path, please replace C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam with the correct path.)

This command requires administrator privileges and may take a few minutes.
Launch Steam and test the issue again.

Any third-party anti-virus solutions present on your system?
They might inferfere.


If this started happening out-of-the-blue, it could indicate a number of things.
Corrupted Windows user profile; incorrect startup type for some of the services that handle permission elevation; or for services that handle inter-process communication across security boundaries like different levels of access (admin, regular user). (It's a bit of a crapshoot and depends on what Valve actually used to set-up the communication between the service and the normal client application.)

Anything else you changed on the system recently would probably be a good starting point for an investigation.

And no antivirus or realtime monitoring stuff running no?
Could be something in windows conflicting maybe.

Give windows a going over, close everything

You could try move the Steam install to another drive if possible. Search Steam Support on how to.

Have you tried right clicking the Steam icon and selecting "Run as administrator"?

Already got it sorted out, The steam support helped me out, if it does happened again, I'll contact them again. But all i did was.

Click the Start button, then 'All Programs', and 'Accessories'
Right-click on Command Prompt and click "Run as administrator..."
In the command prompt, type the following command, including quotation marks, and press Enter:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair

or

"C:\Program Files\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe" /repair

Glad to hear you got it sorted, this kind of thing can happen when you try new installs or when windows updates (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ windows).

Well, when i first installed windows on this SSD, didn't had problems, but after a while, i guess it's either Windows updates, or other updates not sure
