Steam taking forever to load, help
Hi lads

I needed help with something if someone please has some knowledge to help me with this.

I made a new config of my PC, though using the same M2 and HDD and i have:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

GPU : ASUS TUF Rtx 3070 Ti

Mobo: ASUS TUF B650-PLUS

OS: Windows 10 Home (22H2)

It worked for some days, but since yesterday, Steam takes a huge amount of time to load (>5 minutes). When clicking "Play" nothing happens ... but then 10 minutes after it, the game pops up!!

I have tried many things

1.Uninstall-Reinstall

2. Only having steam.exe and steamapps and load steam.exe

3.Deactivating Core Performance Boost in BIOS

4.Create a steam.cfg with
u/nClientBackgroundAutoStart 0
u/nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2Platform 0 BootStrapperInhibitSelfUpdate 1 u/AllowSuperSlowWebHelperStartup 0
u/cef_force_32bit 1
u/cef_single_process 1
u/cef_no_sandbox 1

5.Launching steam with -no-cef-sandbox -disable-gpu

6.Deactivating the iGPU

I'm stuck and at lost for ideas... any help please ?

whats your storage? if you got cheap storage it might be on its way out, try installing a steam game and see if disc tanks after about 5 seconds

Hi bro, thanks for quick answer, my storages are the following:
Samsung 980 Pro (M2 1000Go) and an old Seagate SATA HDD 1To as well.
I've downloaded Expedition 33 today without any problem, and CrystalDisk say both of my storages are «Good».

Gotta say that every other app on my PC loads instantly

i'm not a big tech nerd but try sfc/scannow in a command prompt, should filter out any system issues, could be steam suddenly being incompatible with your computer for a short time, usually when it comes to stuff like this i just let it sit and it fixes

you should also run a windows defender scan

Get rid of all those pointless CEF launch options.

Set Steam.exe to Run As Admin and Disable Full Screen Optimization.

Make shortcut for Steam and do not apply. "Start with Windows" option in Steam.

Add only this launch option:
-disable-overlay-gpu-pri

Once in Steam Client change settings to Start in Library and also set Library to low performance + low bandwidth mode options.

Stop reinstalling Steam. That will never be needed since Steam has simple methods of Repair if needed.

It's going to be slow until you've run it a few times. You reinstalling it doesn't help this at all. No wonder you aren't getting anywhere. Some games have to run the installers first. Or download shader cache or compile shader cache.

Get rid of the HDD for Games or Steam Library and get a 2 or 4 TB SSD

If using older 581.xx drivers which are terribly bugged, DDU wipe that all out and get 581.80

Install latest AMD RyzenChipset Driver from AMD website.

Disable Fast Startup + Hibernation in OS via CMD > Run As Admin> powercfg -h off > press enter > reboot the PC

Hi friend,
Thank you for your message, this sure helped me a lot! I've followed your steps, though when I launch steam it says that it's currently running on Windows Compatibility even when i deactivated it...But it loads as fast as it used to before i changed my configuration!!

I think the problem is solved for me!

@xuild thank you for your help too!

Have the same problem, unfortunately, the solution didn't help.
- Launch Steam manually from shortcut with -disable-overlay-gpu-pri
- Set low performance and low bandwith options for Library
- Reinstalled Amd Chipset Drivers with AMD Auto-Detect program
- Checked NVIDIA Driver - it's 581.80
- Performed powercfg -h command in cmd
- Relaunched

No result. Steam launches for about 5 min, the games...could't even launch.

AMD Ryzen 7700 / Nvidia 5080 Super / 32Gb DDR5 RAM / SSD Kingston 1Tb (Steam installed) + 2 Samsung QVO 1 and 2 Tb / Windows 11 25H2

Internal GPU disabled.

For you... disable the onboard GPU before launching Steam

Once you make the Steam shortcut with tbat extra launch option. Right click the Steam shortcut > Run Ad Admin

Thanks all, solved by myself, such a silly problem!
Helped checking system services and switching off ASUS Aura Lightning service.
