The following instructions are to be applied to both the Steam.exe as well as the steamwebhelper.exe. (This one was taken from the Steam support pages, though they randomly move / remove entries so I thought I’d paste it here) Don’t delete the folder itself!Īppdata may be a hidden folder so you may need to select the options to view hidden files in Explorer (under View in Windows 10). Go to Users\AppData\Local\Steam and delete all the contents of the htmlcache folder. Disabling DirectWrite for font smoothingĪgain within Steam settings, go to Interface and uncheck “Enable DirectWrite for improved font smoothing and kerning” Clearing the htmlcache directory Go to the Web Browser section of the Steam settings and delete the Cache and Cookies. I worked through these initially and these corrected the issue for most people the solution that helped me is a bit more obscure and so I’ve listed it at the end. Here’s some of the other possible fixes first. But after working through many possible fixes, I worked out what was wrong. Steam support gave up after a couple of suggestions. If you use a normal browser, everything is great. If you use Big Picture mode, everything is great. The store, community, forums etc all don’t work. Using the Steam application, all you can do is browse your library. This has been broken for me for months, but recently I found a fix.
