steam fatal error, failed to load steamui.dll

[A_Ok]

ive tried everything, restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting the file, quitting everything, but it keeps showing up. I have no idea why its doing this, and this was after the recent update. before the update, my steam was bugging out a lot, and it wouldn't load properly, just constantly crashing. can someone help?

For malwares, go for Malwarebytes free version.
