Steam Service Error
Steam Service Error

The steam service on your machine requires some maintenance.This service helps steam install or update games, enables anti-cheat detection in some files and assists with other system level tasks. Reinstalling the steam service requires administrator privileges.

I've been getting this for a while now. Tired of it. If I click on it to do something nothing happens except that Steam shuts down and never reopens. If I click cancel Steam loads then I see the window again when the library is opened.

A Steam service error is an error message that appears when Steam first loads. If Steam doesn't have the correct permissions to run, the Steam client returns a Steam service error message.

Thanks @Jaunitta. Don't know how or when I did that, if I did or something else did it, but it's fixed now. :steamhappy:

For myself and my steam account when I try this fix it does help but eventually the issue recurres. Not sure if it is something steam does to it's user or what not but this issue keeps comming back.
