if i had put in the wrong username/password im pretty sure it wouldn't say: "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam Servers" every time i try

but if anyone has a serious solution to the problem let me know

ive tried everything... from reinstalling steam to enabling steam on my firewall and absolutely nothing has worked :(

open steam, end its process with task manager, relaunch. I've had the issue before, and i found that helps out, not restarting.

That pops up when I type something wrong. At least I get the same thing when I type my pw and info wrong so it can't hurt to try resetting your info

Why can't you restore to the 25th? Just back up data from after the 25th online.

Or if you're referring to October 25th, are there really no restore points from before then?

I don't know if this is a solution but try this, remove ClientRegistery.blob after, go to the steam shortcut or if you don't have one, make one and add the following command into the shortcut -tcp
Should look like this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe " -tcp

Hope it works.
