Steam是最大和最受欢迎的数字游戏店面。Valve 率先使用Steam软件客户端进行数字游戏,并且多年来一直在对其进行改进。今天,Steam是一个可以完成其工作的强大平台。
但是,有时 Steam(Steam)根本不会打开。更糟糕的是,您可能不会收到任何错误消息或说明为什么会发生这种情况。如果您遇到这种情况,这些是最常见的修复方法。
1.使用任务管理器(Task Manager)杀死 Steam(Kill Steam)进程
Steam 有时无法打开,因为它实际上从未真正关闭过。要确保它正确关闭,请执行以下操作:
- 按Ctrl + Shift + Esc打开任务管理器(Task Manager)。
- 查找与Steam相关的任何进程,例如Steam Helper。
- 右键单击这些进程并选择End Task。
- 重复直到没有Steam进程。
通常,当您再次打开Steam时,它会立即启动。
2.重启整台电脑
如果杀死所有Steam进程没有奏效,下一个最快的解决方案是重新启动计算机。这将关闭可能阻止Steam打开的进程。
3. 以管理员身份运行 Steam
有时某些任务的Steam管理员权限。以管理员模式运行,解决初次启动问题,下次正常启动。至少,直到这个问题再次出现。
以管理员身份运行Steam非常简单:(Steam)
- 打开开始菜单(Start Menu)。
- 搜索蒸汽(Steam)。
- 右键单击Steam并选择Run as administrator。
- 如果出现提示,请授予此权限并输入管理员密码。
4. 刷新Steam 配置数据(Steam Configuration Data)
重置 Steam 的内部设置可以解决客户端软件的一些问题。这包括当您尝试启动它时,Steam 神秘地缺乏热情。
这很容易做到,不会影响您安装的游戏或保存文件,但如果您有多个Steam库文件夹,则必须在刷新完成后再次添加它们。
- 如上所述,使用任务管理器(Task Manager)确保Steam完全关闭。
- 按Windows 键(Windows Key)+ R打开“运行”对话框(Run dialog)。
- 输入steam://flushconfig并选择OK。
- 在确认对话框中选择确定。(OK)
- 再次启动 Steam 并再次登录。
希望这能解决问题并让您再次玩游戏。
5. 如果您是Beta 客户端用户(Beta Client User),请删除(Delete)Beta 客户端文件(Beta Client File)
您(Did)选择参加Steam Beta吗?虽然这是快速访问新功能的好方法,但这也意味着您要承担测试版更新或阻止Steam正常打开的错误的风险。幸运的是,您可以手动禁用Beta客户端,只需删除一个小文件即可返回原版Steam。
- (Make)使用前面描述的任务管理器方法(Task Manager)确保Steam已完全关闭。
- 打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)并导航到C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\package。这是默认路径。
- 查找名为“beta”的文件并将其删除(delete)。
尝试再次启动Steam。如果它确实启动了,则可能是最新的 Beta 更新有问题。因此,您应该等待一段时间才能再次选择加入。
6.重新安装蒸汽
Steam安装客户端还可以修复损坏的Steam安装。如果更常见的修复不起作用,那么使用该功能是个好主意。这不会导致您丢失任何游戏数据,因为您只需下载最新的Steam客户端安装程序并运行它。
7. 检查您是否有活跃的互联网(Internet)
Steam需要有效的互联网连接,除非您在离线模式下(Offline Mode)重新启动它。因此,如果网络中断,您将无法打开Steam 。通常,一条错误消息会告诉您任何连接问题。
8. Steam 服务器在线吗?
即使您的互联网连接很好,实际的Steam在线服务也可能不是。Steam本身并没有提供方便的方法来检查服务是否已关闭,但是有几个第三方选项可以让您一目了然地了解状态更新。我们推荐Steamstat或Steam 状态 Twitter 帐户(Steam Status Twitter account)。
9. 确保Windows和您的驱动程序已更新
缺少更新可能会导致兼容性问题。例如,Steam或Windows可能有导致兼容性问题的待处理更新。检查待处理的Windows更新。
另外,检查您的硬件驱动程序(hardware drivers)是否是最新的。GPU驱动程序在这里特别值得关注,您的GPU驱动程序的最新版本可能包含错误修复,使其能够更好地与Steam配合使用。
10.仔细检查你的日期和时间
这有点违反直觉,但有时Steam无法打开,因为您计算机的日期和时间与(Steam)Steam从 Internet 检索的时间不匹配。
这显然与Chromium浏览器中的一个错误有关,这是Steam用来显示页面的一个版本。正确设置您的时间或打开选项以在Windows中自动更新时间以解决此问题。
11.禁用您的防病毒软件
即使是流行的Steam也可能与防病毒软件或安全套件发生冲突。暂时(Temporarily)禁用您的防病毒软件并查看Steam是否会启动。如果它仅在防病毒软件运行时才启动,请选择性地将Steam及其相关进程列入白名单。
12. 确保 Steam 不处于兼容模式(Compatibility Mode)
Windows必须处理大量历史积压的旧软件。因此,它包括为Windows XP、7 等设计的应用程序的兼容模式。
最新版本的Steam设计为适用于Windows 10,因此不应处于兼容模式。如果您出于某种原因打开了Steam可执行文件的(Steam)兼容模式(Compatibility Mode),请将其关闭。虽然Steam(Steam)上的某些特定旧游戏可能需要兼容模式才能运行,但Steam本身不需要。
- 导航到C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
- 寻找Steam.exe
- 右键单击它并选择属性(Properties)
- 选择兼容性选项卡(Compatibility tab)
- 确保以兼容模式运行此程序(Run this program in compatibility mode for )未选中
- 选择确定(OK)
再玩一次,蒸汽

Steam Won’t Open? 12 Fixes to Try
Steam is the biggest and most popular digital gaming storefront. Valve pioneered digital games with the Steam software client and has been refining it for many years. Today, Steam is a robust platform that does its job.
However, every now and then Steam simply won’t open. What’s worse, you may not get any error message or indication of why this is happening. If that’s what you’re experiencing, these are the most common fixes.
1. Kill Steam Processes With Task Manager
Steam sometimes won’t open because it never actually closed in the first place. To make sure it’s properly closed, do the following:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Look for any process that’s related to Steam, such as the Steam Helper.
- Right-click on those processes and select End Task.
- Repeat until there are no Steam processes left.
Usually Steam will start up immediately when you open it again.
2. Restart the Whole Computer
If killing all Steam processes doesn’t do the trick, the next fastest solution is to restart your computer. This will shut down processes that could be preventing Steam from opening.
3. Run Steam as Administrator
Sometimes Steam administrator privileges for some tasks. Run it in administrator mode to solve the initial startup issue and then start it normally next time. At least, until this issue crops up again.
It’s very simple to run Steam as an administrator:
- Open the Start Menu.
- Search for Steam.
- Right-click on Steam and the select Run as administrator.
- Give permission for this and enter an administrator password if prompted.
4. Flush the Steam Configuration Data
Resetting Steam’s internal settings can solve some issues with the client software. That includes a mysterious lack of enthusiasm from Steam when you try to start it up.
It’s easy to do and doesn’t affect your installed games or save files, but if you have multiple Steam library folders, you’ll have to add them again once the flush is complete.
- Ensure that Steam is completely closed using Task Manager as described above.
- Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type steam://flushconfig and select OK.
- Select OK on the confirmation dialog.
- Start Steam again and login again.
Hopefully, this will resolve the problem and allow you to play again.
5. If You’re a Beta Client User, Delete the Beta Client File
Did you opt in to take part in the Steam Beta? While this is a great way to get fast access to new features, it also means you take on the risk of a beta update or bug preventing Steam from opening normally. Luckily, you can manually disable the Beta client and go back to vanilla Steam by simply deleting one little file.
- Make sure that Steam is completely closed, using the Task Manager method described earlier.
- Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\package. This is the default path.
- Look for a file named “beta” and delete it.
Try to start Steam again. If it does start up, it’s likely there was something wrong with the latest Beta update. So, you should wait a while before opting in again.
6. Reinstall Steam
The Steam installation client can also repair busted Steam installations. It’s a good idea to use that feature if the more common fixes don’t work. This should not cause you to lose any game data as you only have to download the latest Steam client installer and run it.
7. Check That You Have Active Internet
Steam needs an active internet connection, unless you restart it in Offline Mode. So, you won’t be able to open Steam if the network is down. Usually, an error message will tell you about any connectivity problems.
8. Are the Steam Servers Online?
Even if your internet connection is just fine, the actual Steam online service might not be. Steam itself doesn’t offer a convenient way to check if the service is down, however there are several third-party options that can give you a status update at a glance. We recommend Steamstat or the Steam Status Twitter account.
9. Make Sure Windows and Your Drivers are Updated
Lack of updates can cause compatibility issues. For example, Steam or Windows can have pending updates that cause compatibility problems. Check for pending Windows updates.
Also, check if your hardware drivers are up to date. GPU drivers are of special concern here and the latest version of your GPU’s driver might contain bug fixes that make it work better with Steam.
10. Double Check Your Date and Time
This one is a little counter-intuitive, but sometimes Steam won’t open because your computer’s date and time doesn’t match the time Steam retrieves from the internet.
This is apparently linked to a bug in the Chromium browser, a version of which Steam uses to display pages. Set your time correctly or switch on the option to auto update the time in Windows to fix this issue.
11. Disable Your Antivirus
Even the popular Steam can run afoul of an antivirus or a security suite. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and see whether Steam will start or not. If it doesn’t start up only when the antivirus is running, selectively whitelist Steam and its related processes.
12. Make Sure Steam Isn’t in Compatibility Mode
Windows has to work with a large historical backlog of old software. So, it includes a compatibility mode for applications designed for Windows XP, 7 and so on.
The latest version of Steam is designed to work for Windows 10 so it should not be in compatibility mode. If you’ve toggled on Compatibility Mode for the Steam executable for some reason, switch it off. While certain specific old games on Steam may need compatibility mode to work, Steam itself doesn’t.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
- Look for Steam.exe
- Right-click on it and select Properties
- Select the Compatibility tab
- Ensure Run this program in compatibility mode for is unchecked
- Select OK
