3 Different pc's all refuse to boot steam

[CptnSpandex]

3 Different pc's all different hardware but every single one of them today refuses to boot up steam, the only thing that is common is nvidia, seriously nvidia lately wtf are you thinking or doing, you are damaging more pc's than helping, this is gonna be another intel debacle.

If it were a problem specifically caused by Nvidia hardware, the net would be flooded with such complaints. Perhaps there's something else your PCs share in common that is unique to you?

What are the specs of your "three pc's?" I imagine there not compatible with steam since we do not know what they are using. For all we know, they could be using windows 7.

Win 7 apparently still works, but Win 8.1 does not. But yeah, they problem is going to be something other than Nvidia cards, otherwise many of us would be suffering the same thing...

Last I knew, Intel and Nvidia barely had any "overlap" in PCs; Intel was barely putting out enough GPUs to make it to my radar, and IDK of any ATX MoBos with a socket/chipset for a Nvidia CPU; only Nvidia CPU I've seen for anything that resembles a PC was what was used for the original MS Surface.

You should ask what is it that your doing that affects all 3 machines.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

I found that with my machine, the truncation of the MS User Account, caused the actual User group to be removed which, in turn, messes up the Runtime Brokers.

Another person whom I helped had this issue as well so check into that if you will.

Win 7 is working fine - perhaps they share an internet connection/ provider?

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Win7 has no Runtime Brokers but Win8.1 and above do...

But no one should ever listen to this evil wench, not sure why I waste my time attempting to help you people.

there is a problem with the network sandbox both in windows 8.1 and windows 10. try to use windows 7 compatibility mode. it works for me.

Updated all 3 machines with the latest nvidia drivers of which every single one of them upon installing said stupid driver came up with exactly the same error that the string was too long and could not be accepted, i had to reinstall the driver on all machines, their drivers are causing black screening when booting up windows widespread across millions of users and it is causing all sorts of weird behaviour.

Again.,..

Specs of the 3 PCs?
Driver that you say was a problem?
OS?

If you were at any point on 566.xx or earlier and moved to 570.xx drivers; you should clean install them. The best means of doing this is with the latest version of DDU. This is pretty common sense. There was no reason to be on any driver newer then 566.xx unless you were using and/or testing an RTX 60 series card. As is stands now, 572.47 is good and stable driver for all the NVIDIA GPUs; from GTX 9 series and later.

Many trolls on the forums in 2025.

One with a 4060 ti, one with a 4070 ti super and another with a 3070 ti super, i know the screen issues were all that exact driver because whatever it tried to install one of the strings of code was too long for windows and gave exactly the same error nearing completion of the install on all 3 machines, they did these drivers as a quick rush for the 50 series and screwed up in a big way, alot of people just get a black screen when booting up the pc with these drivers which i have had on all 3 machines, you only need to look it up on google my friends to see exactly what i am saying is 100% true.
