Steam Service Install

[Beeromancer]

For some reason in the last week or so my steam client always pops up wanting to install the steam service. I click install and it asks again, then does nothing. This happens every time I start steam. I have tried the following:

1. Run in Adminstrator Mode - This works, but I don't like running apps in Admin mode if I don't have to.

2. Restart the Steam Service in services.msc - The service does not exist here at all (It did a week or so ago)

3. Manuall install from admin command line (SteamService.exe /install) - This fails with the following error.

Failed to get copy SteamService.exe
/install service install failed

4. Disable Firewall and Antivirus - Nothing

5. Run SteamService.exe /repair - Nothing

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like you have to run Steam in admin mode. Some PC configurations just need to.

I was just wondering why after like 4 years of running steam on Windows 10 it suddenly started doing this.

Update: I got this working. I used to have Steam installed on my E drive. The files were all still there. I ran the steamclient.exe /install from there and it worked. Very odd as I do not run Steam from there at all (I checked my shortcut and it runs off the C drive).
