My Steam can't launch. Everything was running smoothly until yesterday (21/12/25).
When I run it, it stays on the loading splashcreen loggin on my account forever, until I freak out and click on the system tray button on the lower right corner. Then I get

"steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding. The Steam UI will not be usable. Click here for more information."

I've tried running stem.exe as admin, with no success. I've tried unninstalling and reinstalling steam, worked for 1 night, and today evening the same started happening again. I believe it has something to do with a new steam update. Is anyone going through this lately?
