Backup important data and settings
Do clean install - W10 upgrade newer work correctly on laptops:
the only thing that has been achieved M$, since W1.0 release times - save user data and most of the settings - the latter often are the cause of most problems after update + incompatible drivers and the need to re-install all third-party components.
It sounds like you have an old folder containing an old steam installation and are clicking a shortcut which no longer exists? There should be more than 2 folders in your Steam directory if it's a proper installation!
Has the new Steam installation gone to a different place and your shortcut needs updating?
I run it from the .exe location itself not from shorcut.
I have looked into the registry and yes the value is still C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.
Thing is, I have tried reinstall Steam to its default directory yet the problem persist.
On another note, I had installed Avast but later uninstalled it. Do you think it is still possible that Avast causing the problem?
Avast is on the list of problematic software. Did you reboot after uninstalling Avast ?

Check for other software that you may have that is on the list. Check other background processes also.
Have you gone here and expanded the drop menu for Windows 10 64 bit and downloaded and updated all the drivers for Windows 10 64 bit on that computer ??? I see alot of drivers in the list so I suggest you do that and not just simply use Windows update....

Also, when you change the OS on a computer, that sometimes can cause a BIOS issue and the BIOS needs to be updated. I am not saying yours does, but it "may".
The best way to troubleshoot Steam is to boot your PC into safe mode with networking and launch Steam there if you can and log in. If you cannot do that and get errors in safe mode with networking, then you should backup/move your steamapps folder to a safe place and fully uninstall Steam.

After you do that, reboot BACK into safe mode with networking and reinstall Steam using a fresh copy of the client as in taken from here...

Once you do THAT, launch Steam WHILE still in safe mode with networking and see that it updates fine and you can log in as normal. I suggest you not boot into normal Windows until you find the original issue, but it was "probably" Avast. You need to make exceptions for Steam in any antivirus program, and that is explained in the antivirus paragraph on the page I linked above concerning programs that may inteferre with Steam.
Yes, I did.
I did check if there is any Avast process but there is none. I'll double check it again today.
I did boot the computer in Safe mode with internet (F5). Uninstalled Steam and reinstall it. Sadly, it didn't work.

Not yet. I will try when I get to my PC. Will keep you update.
Double check Avast and delete everything not working either.
At first I found the topic by microsoft about how malware can cause this but I dismissed it since I don't think there would be any malware which just target only steam.
However, after trying many method, I decided to download malwarebyte and scan my computer. Honestly, while I was wating for scanning to be completed, I chuckled and thought "This ain't gonna work"
It found this malware: 'HackTool.Komodia'
And after remove it, my steam work.
Please accept my apologize for causing all of you inconveniences. I really appreciate all of your help. Thank you very much.
