Invalid SSL certificate error.

[głupi]

I get this error each time i open a tab on steam followed by
"The SSL certificate for *link* is invalid and the page will not be loaded.

I'm writing this message on the steam application on my phone.

I tried every step other people said in other topics but none worked.

P.S.: date and time on my laptop are correct.

Try opting out of Beta Participation if you have that enabled.

Steam -> Settings -> Account

I already did that, it did not work.

Try clearing the browser cache on the client.

Steam (top left corner) > Settings > Web Browser > Delete Web Browser Cache

Periodically, you'd want to clear your browser's cache and cookies.

Have you tried this past suggestion?

Open up gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Internet Communication Management > Internet Communication Settings > Open "Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update" click Disable, and then click OK.

Close the Local Group Policy Editor.

Thanks for your answer Robin3sk, but i already did that few days ago and it didn't work.
However, I can not even install a game. every time I try to install, I receive this message: "The steam servers are unreachable".

I reinstalled Steam maybe 10 times till now. I think the last option is to reinstall Windows. xD

Do you get the same error when you use a desktop web browser?

Nope. On browser it works perfectly.

It's definitely worth a re-installation but that's going to take a lot of time and effort since you'd need to back-up games and their save files.

Try clearing the client's HTTP cache.

C:\Program Files (86x)\Steam\appcache\httpcache

Delete the content in the HTTP Cache folder and restart the client.

It still doesn't work... I really do not know what to do.

You might want to see some additional troubleshooting here with programs that many interfere with Steam...

If everything goes to no avail, an attempted Steam Client re-installation and / or Windows re-installed is a last resort.

Well.. I removed any program that could not let Steam run properly, I checked the entire PC. And I still could not solve it.
I've decided to reinstall Windows, and now it works!
Thank you for trying to help Robin!
