Steam is taking a very long time to verify the installation.

I know it's normal, and it does it to check whether it's modded and safe and whatnot, but it takes 10 minutes every day. How can I fix this?

Is this at the point were you first Launch Steam every day ?
Sounds like anti virus could be blocking a file.

Delete some files. That really is not enough space to have left for the drive to stay healthy and responsive.

You ask so many questions about specs but give no useful response, other than delete some "files" (What files specifically? Should we delete system 32? I heard that makes your pc much faster).
Meanwhile an ACTUAL ANSWER was found on the post below, WITHOUT any pestering about PC specs.

Is there an actual solution to Steam's installation verification taking excessively long periods of time. Exceeding nine hours. Or is everyone still stuck on what everyone's PC specs are?

[perropequeño2222]

Surprised to see that some folks are still bumping this after nearly 5 years! :)

After having used other computers on an SSD where Steam loads within 5 seconds, I think the long load times really boils down to having your OS, especially Windows 10&11, installed on a mechanical hard disk. That causes things to load a lot slower.

Does that make things slow so should I disable the anti virus
