Windows update broke Steam again.

:veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry: :veryangry:
deleted Cliffs; reinstalled; zip. :evil:
deleted Steam; reinstalled; Started Cliffs; Romainian language. Did that process twice. same result.
Deleted Steam; reinstalled, deleted Cliffs, reinstalled. Now Steam updates, but fails to initialize. Cliffs error message says Steam needs to be running. Steam sent me three separate codes to verify it was me on "a new computer". But I call n o joy.
Thank you Windows update.

May be too late if new problems have appeared, but if you get back to the game launching in the wrong language, believe this may help.

Good luck! :salute:

As a matter of fact, Steam won't start now, so I might was well speak Martian. I've already uninstalled both Steam and Cliffs. No joy. Here I go again: Windows update and my wings are clipped for my trouble. Guess I'll have to wait again.

OK, oddly enough I went into the Steam folder and ran the Windows troubleshooter on the Steam Client application icon. It suggested testing the settings, and damned if that didn't work. I looked into the properties and the compatibility box is still unchecked. So I can't explain what the fix was.
