Black Screen when trying to login to steam

[Puppytux]

So, just a typical day for me until this happened. When I clicked on my steam icon on my desktop, it had to update, so after I updated it a black square appeared rather than a login screen. I have restarted my computer multiple times but haven't had success. Whenever I click on the steam icon a black square just appears. Someone please help me with this

Validate your Steam -client files:

1. Navigate yourself to

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\

2. Try to remove everything except
   
   • Steam.exe
     
   • SteamApps -folder
     
   • userdata -folder
     
   • ssfn(numbersequence)
   
   
3. Re-launch Steam

AMD Catalyst Control Center > Power > Switchable Graphics Application Settings > Steam.exe >
switch to Power Saving > Apply > Restart steam
