Try steam flush cmd ( google how to do ) you hope for this work , or you need to do alot more pc check and other older fixes that steam user has to do.

Do have a valid OS that still has lifecycle supprt. this means do not have a outdate OS that is not supported anymore.

ps.
PC updates and OS is updated, thats is your problem to have such checked.



other pc check. ( google how to do ) this is cmd mini script most pc user should have done when you are in trouble. ( it not ment to find any issue. ) you can hope for it and it fix itself.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
SFC /Scannow
chkdsk c:
chkdsk d:
chkdsk e:
chkdsk f:
chkdsk g:
chkdsk h:

if all this dont work,

try install steam over current steam install ment and hope that can fix whatever it is.

from here advice will get tough. ( ask for therm if you need them ) any helper can provide them.

( and we are not support here, we are steam users just like you. )

It's an IP rate limit.

Actually come to think of it, I'm technically having this kind of problem as well lately.

Bumping this up. Having the same situation here.

Exit Steam fully restart it.

I tried that already. Still same error as described. I can see badges, though
