What is this "Steam Client Service" service in windows now?
I don't remember it being there before. steamservice.exe is the name of the process.

It's been around since around the time Vista came out. Very not new.

I got a message out of the blue saying "The Steam Client Service must be installed. Click OK to install it" when I clicked "Check for Steam Client Updates." I had never seen that message before. It also told me no new updates were available then Steam locked up when I OKd the install. So I restarted steam. Then it updated. I dunno.

My Steam service crashed yesterday (along with the overlay process) which completely broke all in-game community, updates, achievements, etc. That's the first time anything like that's happened in 8 years.

Run Steam as an administrator and that should fix the service problem. The service itself has been around for years

No one answered the bloody query! What is it and should then it be deleted, downloaded and updated or left and disregarded...???
