[Bug] Functional: No button function and dropdown menus at Windows startup
**Description**
When Steam starts up with Windows, the new Steam Beta Client loads up a black screen. Neither the buttons nor the dropdown menus will work. After a while, the buttons sometimes recover and load a page. Then, the dropdown menus sometimes also recover. On my work laptop, they recover completely, on my home PC, they occasionally load, but most of the time will show a black/empty menu.
Closing the app and restarting it solves the issue.

**Repro steps**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Power up the PC.
2. Let Windows load.
3. Let Steam start up.
4. See error.

**Expected behavior**
The start page should load and all buttons and the dropdown menus should work.
