Cant enable Family Share.

[feins]

Just few days my Son mention he cant download and play those games that i've share him previously.
I check and notice that Family Share his login was since 2021.
So i revoke his login and computer and was trying to add him back to the Family and i notice that once i click on Family i got Steam Spin of Dead below Family Library Share, there is no option to enable the PC and the account just a spinning Steam logo.

Seems more like a bug. My Son's Steam account can share to Family. But my Account cant Share to Family. Now the best is after i clear cache. My Steam Guard QR cant used anymore it gives error "Fail to Read QR Info" if i try to login via QR vith my mobile, force to use Steam Guard Code. Any idea how to resolve this Fail to Read QR Info issue =.="

Is there a way to deactivate QR and use the normal code via authenticator maybe ?

There seems to be an authentication issue with your account in general, hence there was an issue with family sharing in the first place.

Anything on here ?

Did you walk through all of these ?

I manage to resolve the QR issue by delete my Steam app from my IOS device and reinstall it again.
Then use migrate Authenticator to this phone option.

For the Family Share yes i've already did all of the walkthrough,
There's no more computer and account tie to my account all has been revoked.
SFC /scannow result no error.
Already tried disable Antirus and firewall.
and the subsequent i didnt do.
Just FYI my son account can share his game back to me. Just my account i dont have the Authorise this computer and user account option. The Authorise and allow user account was replace with a Big Round Stream Loading screen of dead.

If anyone comes to this thread now, first check if you are online. My brother couldnt get my dads family sharing to work, and it worked immediately when I said to sign in to friends and chat by going online!

Sometimes I truly wonder what Valve is doing.. who would think to check that or that it would have ANY impact on sharing.

Thank you for saving the day.

jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ. I've been troubleshooting this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for the past couple hours and THIS is what it was. You have to be online for "chat" (i always immediately turn that ♥♥♥♥ off) or you get an infinite loading loop under the family setting. God I hate Valve's buggy ass interface with a passion.

Anyway thank you BLP Halal.

That worked for me after a couple of hours of trying different things.

Friends > Online (and it immediately worked)

i don't know how to yous the video in stormworks

That’s funny. I don’t need to be online for my Son to launch the game I share. It doesn’t makes sense where the owner need to be online so the share user can play.

Thank you so much , I have been trying to fix this for over an hour now, having previously had the same issue, like half a year ago, and couldn't remember how I fixed it. No wonder I can't, it has most likely been a coincident that I was online last time and got it fixed.
So just now, went online with friends, and bingo
Now my daughter can take over the computer again
