Steam self-updating to older version

[Alessandro Mattos]

Hello,

I'm getting this really strange behaviour from Steam Self-Updater. I noticed that I was being asked every day to update Steam. I found that strange and realized that he was actually updating Steam to the 17/Mar version, then updating it to the 15/Mar version, then to the 17/Mar version again and so on on an endless loop.

Now I have the 20/Mar version installed and Steam keep asking me every day to update to the 15/Mar version.

Anyone have an idea on how to correct this?

Regards,

Hey man, if you are experiencing issues with the Steam Self-Updater constantly asking you to update, there are a few things you can try:

Run Steam as an administrator: Sometimes, the Steam Self-Updater may not have the proper permissions to update itself. Right-click on the Steam shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

Disable Steam Self-Updater: You can disable the Steam Self-Updater by going to Steam > Settings > Account and unchecking "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for applications which support it" and "Allow downloads during gameplay."

Delete the ClientRegistry.blob file: The ClientRegistry.blob file stores information about your Steam client and may sometimes become corrupted. Navigate to your Steam installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) and delete the ClientRegistry.blob file. Restart Steam and the file will be regenerated.

Reinstall Steam: If none of the above solutions work, you may need to completely uninstall and reinstall Steam. Before doing this, make sure to backup your game saves and any other important files.

Just click the X on update windows.

That way you only update once when you start steam. It will fix itself.

Thank you. I'll try the suggested actions.
