Why my steam look like this?

Usually, clearing the web cache in the settings and restarting Steam solves the issue.

Mine looked just like this too, on top of never able to connect to friends network.
In my case, it had to do with "DST Root CA X3"(SSL certificate required to browse Steam) being expired on September 30, 2021.

Here's something I tried to solve my problem in further detail:

Steam without Javascript looks beautiful.

Its diffidently not HTML, that loads in properly. Images however doesn't seem to load up.

Hm... if you look at the sourcecode of the Steam Community webpage you'll notice that the CSS stylesheets (used for buttons and the like) and javascript code used for displaying games in the way they're normally displayed are going through the cloudflare service.
Its possible Cloudflare was simply down at that time or something went wrong there.

Everything that wasn't going through cloudflare seems to load up at least, creating that weird look.

Problem was in drivers.

As mentioned by 슈퍼마마위지 above, it might be an SSL/TLS certificate issue.

If that is it, the site should work on Firefox.
and, if that is it, then the guide speaks about the wrong certificate.

Since community.cloudflare.steamstatic.com is used. and this is certified by Cloudflare, the certificate you need to get is Baltimore CyberTrust Root and install it as Root CA.

The Let's Encrypt certificate you speak of is only used by 'cdn' in SteamCommunity, and 'cdn' is used to load in people's profile image.
What OP experiences is far more load-in issues than just people's profile image.

If anyone is having an ssl cert error 2xx (200, 201, 202, etc) then here's how I managed to at least find a workaround. As many others have said, it should connect to the page via a browser, so do that first and create the guide through the browser instead of the application. Then once it's created, go back into the application and check your profile and see what the guides (or other sections you want to create) say. It should show a number next to the guides button now. You can edit it freely in the app and go back and forth within sections.

The only issue is creating the guide or listing the item or doing whatever you may be doing within the steam app itself whether that be on PC or the mobile app. Once you create it first on the browser it should work.

Worth a shot at least.
