HELP Steam not working

[WhyClydeWhy]

Manifest was unable to download earlier…. Seems to be more frequent in the past few months than ever before…

Did my typical solutions, change download location, clear cache, log out log back in…. Nothing was working. Couldn’t play any of my games. So I decided to uninstall steam and reinstall.

Upon downloading the install from the website, I get the error “Steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again.”

I am using windows 10
Disabled firewall and antivirus

I’m getting very frustrated with this, any help would be great.

Here somethings that come to mind might worth checking out.

- Restart modem and/or router by unplugging it power, then plug it back in after a minute. If it works then means modem and/or router has issue, and just needed a restart.

- Check your modem and/or router to ensure have nothing blocked via their settings.

- If using VPN/proxy, may cause issues you're having.

- If using custom DNS service depending which one may cause issues.

- If using 3rd party software to manage apps behavior, incoming, and out going traffic, or even 3rd party anti virus affecting other apps from working correctly.

- Check your task manager for any strange apps running that might never seen before. Seen a case someone had something strange that was stopping Steam from going online for whatever reason.

- If using custom firewall, pi hole, or etc, and blocking thing could affect things, might want to look into that.

- Flushing your network might fix things, open command promt as admin, and give this a try, then restart PC and test, do things in order.

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset

If not working still try these in order, then restart PC, and test.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew

Thank you for the response. I’ve tried that as well still no luck.

I’ve even restore my PC to an earlier date such as 2 weeks prior when steam was working. Still not functioning.

You have to access your router in the admin settings and make changes to your IP address from there. Look up your router online to understand how to make the changes necessary.
