Thanks a lot for helping me.

Are you have Windows N version or something like that.

Steam cmd line option
https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_line_options_(Steam)

Therer is other post with ( -no-browser ) is not working anymore, unless steam has enable that option again


ps.
-no-browser - Disables all instances of CEF. CEF stands for Chromium Embedded Framework,

Are you have frame work issue at that system, again thirdpart app windows N version dont auto install you need to do it because its a N version.

other issue you are in a domain that block some update, thery can do that in company PC.

There was a .net framework update at my pc, if you don't have such update automatic the system will have framework issue.

PC today will get issue if update and other things is not done. where you are in all this we dont know.

And what build or Domain or other prevention even OS how they are made can by default be that way dont update thirdpart app,

Most PC user do not have any issue with default windows own build and Administrator choise you did.

Before switching to Windows 11 everything was fine, but when I updated to that version is when Steam stopped working. I could only open it by waiting for Steamreporter to pop up on its own (it could pop up in 2 minutes or in 2 hours), it was random

It sounds like a permissions problem. I would do the following:
Go to your Steam directory and delete everything EXCEPT:

• steam folder (F:\Steam\steam)
  
• steamapps folder (F:\Steam\steamapps)
  
• userdata folder (F:\Steam\userdata)
  
• steam.exe file (F:\Steam\steam.exe)

Then run steam.exe as administrator. This should reinstall Steam with correct permissions.

Did that too, same problem again

This is why we ask you, and xarvn try next ways what this could be,

is this a migration upgrade or fresh clean windows OS install, this mean you take past OS security and option with you or not.


We did see this then we did same migration from win7 to win10, it took years to notice or understod this as pc user we took past apps and security and option with us that later give us greef about it, ( funny how all issue vanish when ew made a clean OS install.

Only you know if you made a Gamer Build PC that can be wiped so you are guild/clan rdy again asap as we build our pc today for exatly this issue something dont work as it should.

ps.
you need to know how gamers is today and back then we build our pc for get back online asap, and technical nothing has change just because this is 2025.

wipe a OS AT BOOT DRIVE and reactivate game on slave drives is a old way to get online again ASAP. i only mention this so next gen ppl leanr this, if they did not know we did this.

old gamers is rdy for my OS is odd or wierd or heavy or whatever and i dont have time for this anymore to try fix it, they will reset OS faster then you write here, and i bet many still do this.

And this is why we install games at slave (game installment drives and not the Boot drives where OS is.

gl with it.

ps.
there is nothing wrng in try fix it, but there is a reason some called it bad mitigration upgrade.
it took time to be so cold and we learn to reset or make fresh clean install.

I have two disk partitions, one for the Windows boot and another to install the games. The installation I did when moving to Windows 11 was a migration, carrying over what I had from Windows 10. Every time I open Steam with Windows + R, it opens quickly and without problems. Other than that, I haven’t had any issues. I searched around and found many more people with this problem, but no solution. I tried reinstalling everything, deleting and installing again, and nothing everything stays the same. The only thing that works for me is:
F:\Steam\steam.exe -no-browser -no-cef-sandbox

yeah its a your choise or fix, but i also think that might be the issue, in the first place a bad mitigration.

Require someone tell you this, you will not get advice here with wipe your system thats a your choise today,

you need to find post from the past migration where we learn this from.

Or other win11 user that dare tell you this.

its just like xarvn point at past security issue thats now cause issue at new OS, same crap as last time when other user notice system issue in the new OS.

Yeah and other steam user learn the consequence for migration issue, ppl with fresh installament will not have them issue. ( cleanly smalls like a mitigration issue or security settings not get transfer right. )

also a problem at steam post we can find many steam post with it, also raise a issue with dotn do migration option make clean install. ( see to be alot safer todo, and as gamers we dont think its funny to have to deal with OS or have to reset OS as best option to fix it..

And i bet if you knew this even you might have made a clen install, see how many hour or ID what this has cost you.

So we do understand you, and i bet if someone post or told you this, then you will not have that issue you are in now.

Next steam user will be happy for you post this. ( trust me on this )

I doubt many will do MS migration ever again. if im dead right on this as we other learn from the past.migration OS

You are right buddy, thanks for everything

Just to be fair , MS migration work, but you also forget the many security option our system has and external app or none MS product with it. ( this is the problem ppl forget remove past security apps and there option with it )

And as gamers here dont do a migration at all, make clean install on new OS, will best solution ever and you will never have the is this a bad Migration ever, that problem out of the world.

We are many gamers that got caught in odd issue from the past OS, it took time to learn, next gamers will not fall for MS lets try migration again. ( what was the old saying fool me once not twice. )

mine was just a win7 driver and old apps that did not work well in win10, maybe minor issue today, but as you see alot of have to fix issue after and later in the OS , its simple not worth it.

You'll have to give me some advice someday about computers and operating systems, for optimization and stuff. I've never had Windows 7 and I'm barely a gamer xddd

Many start think go linux ( mint ) use proton to run MS games, if you are feedup with MS endeless i have to upgrade to new pc or next winOS12.

Dont forget MS own faulth they said windows 10 will be the last OS, and we can see how that went,

There is many guide in how to build gaming pc as options, ( also part of the problem what you will spend on it and can afford. )

Try Hardware and OS also, ( and problem here what is a store has a event sale on a PC already prebuild they do that today, ) its not always so simple to beat best offer if you are like me. and will not make a own custom build pc but rather buy a pc and all you have to do is a add a ram block or more SSD drive to next gen SSD only games. rest can be install at a RPM driver for past games.
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/discussions/forum/11/

ppl grahic card and ram is recommended to be higher , we have seen some games go more and more in mods that require even more ram and graphic to handle, this is nothing new, but we seen many pc user think a casual pc is good enough, nothing wrong with this, but make sure tell in post you actual need a monster pc for them games list and mods even. ( you can also see next gen games requirement release they are a good way to kick our balls in whats is coming and do you want suchj pc or will try safe abit more cash up.

Next gen PC do not have small drives. ( this is not a joke. games go in past 150gb already.

and what prevent you fromm add a driver later or more ram, alot of option here. or buy later monster graphic card already part of your strategic.

Most PC builder know this, but as user you should make sure you know own plan or you can fell our advice is bad, if you forgot to buy or add how you want this plan to be executed , so few will buy or can afford them monster pc here and now. but i could also say make sure you know your budget.
