Steam-client suddenly stopped starting. However, no programs or updates were installed on the computer.

Complete deletion does not help. Installing in safe mode too. Updating drivers does not help.

Always crash dump.Windows 10 20h2.

What did you do before the steam client decides to stop working?

What OS are you on?

Played Football Manager 21. Then turned off the computer. After 4 hours, I wanted to play and steam never started again.

Technical support is silent.

Have you tried a clean reinstallation on Windows during safe mode (with networking)?

Acording to you its a steam client update , reinstall client over current or start the recover user data inside steam client and reinstall a fresh steam install.

Google steam flush, not sure such work at a crashed steam client, but try it.
