Invalid SSL Certificate

[Best Droid]

Not able to update or download anything at all any ideas for fixes?? looked up fixes but most of them recommend changing date and time which ive already done multiple times note: not using beta version of steam

[Tev]

Well, I'll echo the date and time with that your timezone is correct too? You've tried to launch Windows Time under services.msc and executing the w32tm /resync command in an elevated cmd prompt too?

Is your Windows up-to-date?

[Best Droid]

Yeah window's is up to date and date and time are correct with my timezone, and ill be honest I've never run a command in my life. i just found out command prompt exists soo some help with running that would be highly appreciated.

Set the list in alphabetical order by pressing [Name] on the top columns.
Navigate to [Windows Time]
Right mouse click -> [Start]

Press the [Windows] -button.
In search, type in cmd

Do you get that SSL issue only on Steam, or elsewhere too?

If the former, have you tried nuking Steam's browser cache just for the heck of it?
[Steam > Settings > Web Browser > Delete Web Browser Cache]

[Best Droid]

Yeah i'm only getting the message on steam, and yes i have tried clearing web browser cache and download cache.

[Best Droid]

tho nothing happened when i tried clearing web browser cache but i had to restart when i tried clearing download cache which i found weird, thought i should mention it.

Well, there's really nothing to lose by doing this:
Top left: [Steam > Exit]

Go to where you installed Steam. By default that is,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

Remove everything except

• Steam.exe
  
• steamapps -folder
  
• userdata -folder

Hold down [Windows] and [R] -keys

%localappdata%

Press [Enter]

Remove the folder called Steam.
Restart Steam.

[Best Droid]

Seems I've gotten rid of steam it self do i have to reinstall? cause it shows a message saying that this app doesnt exist and i should delete the shortcut.

[Best Droid]

and when opening steam apps it shows that this app doesn't exist.

[Tev]

I suppose you removed the Steam.exe despite me telling you not to.

As long as you didn't remove your steamapps folder, that's more or less fine.

Download and install Steam to some temporary location, place the Steam.exe in the Steam folder you removed it from, and remove the temporary installation.

[Best Droid]

WHOOPS, yeah idk why i read it as the steam folder instead of steam.exe, my bad i shall do that

[Best Droid]

UGH, still facing the same problem sadly.

[Tev]

The SSL one, or the app not existing one?

[Best Droid]

the "Invalid SSL Certificate" one

[Best Droid]

i did recieve a reply from steam support starting i should repair steam folders but that again is failing
