when i open up steam, the process steam.exe turns into steamerrorreporter.exe instead

stuff i tried:
- running steam as admin
- deleting clientregistry.blob
- deleting steam config
- system restore
- refreshing steam files with steam://flushconfig

it might be related to a windows issue because some sites just started giving me certificate errors too

edit: i wiped steam entirely and reinstalled again and still not working

this is probably not the case but worth asking
any virus scan thingy's that might be blocking it ?

looks like he already did a clean install,

did u perhaps install anything before u started steam, something might be messing it up, just guessing here btw

ok i fixed it but it was the most retarded solution ever

gonna post here for future reference: change your system clock

apparently my computer traveled back in time to the year 2000 and steam was smart enough to recognize it was still a fetus
