"steamweb helper is not responding" and browser sandboxing

[SitNomineDigna]

Every time I start up steam, it usually doesnt respond, and a few minutes later an error pops up saying "steamwebhelper is not responding." After clicking and trying all the solutions on the popup, steam only starts when I click "start with browser sandboxing disabled" and recently, the popup doesnt appear at all. How do I solve this?

Either this is a GPU driver issue, or have to enable/disable hardware acceleration in Steam settings.

Unless you're using 3rd party apps that hooking into Steam client, or messing with steam files & permissions, then need to fix that.

If there corrupted files, then go to where steam installed, delete everything there except for Steamapp folder, and steam.exe file, once done run Steam.exe.

1. I dont use any 3rd party apps, and never have installed any so that surely isnt the problem.

2. I tried the third method (Deleting everything besides steamapps & steam.exe) and then ran it, but the problem was still there.

3. I'm yet to try disabling hardware acceleration as my steam wont open at all (I'm making these posts from the web steam) and therefore can't access settings.

You can try this, make shortcut to steam.exe edit shortcut add with space

-no-cef-sandbox -cef-disable-gpu -cef-disable-gpu-compositing

should look like this.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe" -no-cef-sandbox -cef-disable-gpu -cef-disable-gpu-compositing

Click apply, and run that tell it not to use your GPU at all, the steam settings say it enable, but not actually using your gpu. You can verify by going task manager and it will show 0% for gpu on it under processes just make sure have gpu added to view so can see it.

Thank you so much! This method worked and my steam works again :)

Good, then all have to do is go into Steam settings, disable hardware acceleration, and that it so don't have to keep using shortcut you made.

I think i did see a right click at steam taskbar icon, to start in no gpu accelration, but dont that mean steam.exe is running. they did something a while back, and require steam has startup issue . ( not sure steam usre know this or helper do, ( require start has startup issue so you dont see them option. )

I will rather point it out , even then it might not work, but who knows if this work for all here. then there is startup issue.
