Can't use Steam at all, even after reinstall from scratch
I'm on Windows 10, and when I open Steam the login pop-up opens, but the QR code never loads, instead being blurred out with a spinning circle over it.

I put in my username and password, and when I click the "Sign-In" button, the "Sign-In" label turns into a spinning circle that keeps going forever without doing anything.

I've waited up to 30 minutes and the spinnign wheels over the QR code and the Sign In button never change.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Steam completely (losing all of my saves), run Steam as Admin, with and without VPN, reset my Network settings, changed DNS servers, and flushed my DNS cache.

I don't know what else to try, but I don't want to just never play Steam games again.

Steam can run on Windows 10, otherwise we would be seeing more questions about this.
Many computers run Steam on Windows 10, according to the survey.

Have you restarted your computer? Because that is needed sometimes.

Yeah, I've restarted multiple times. I know it can work - I've run Steam on this computer before, but for the last month or so I can't get it to do anything when I try to login.

While Steam may function over a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection, it can cause problems and is not recommended.

Certain internet services may be temporary out of order. This can cause issues as well. There's nothing the user can do about that, except wait until those services start functioning again.

If Steam isn't functioning properly when it should, there's sometimes a computer problem. If the user can't pinpoint the exact problem, reinstalling Windows or Steam may be necessary.
Windows or Steam can become unstable over time, depending on what the user does with it. Sometimes reinstalling Steam or Windows could help.
If so, the user may need to consult their system administrator about reinstalling Windows or Steam.

This may sound simple but try going to Task Manager and complete closing Steam in the background:TEKKEN8_JoystickN:

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I've tried creating an offline user like petter9juni suggested, and didn't see anything different. I also made sure that Steam was nowhere in my Task Manager before I tried that. Still no QR code loading, and the SignIn button just spins.

There are other people using the same wifi that can login, so I do think it's something with my computer itself, and not the network.
