If Steam won't launch, start by checking if any antivirus or firewall is blocking it. Sometimes, the simplest solution is just to restart your computer and try again. If that doesn't work, try running Steam as an administrator. Right-click on the Steam shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'. If you're still out of luck, try updating your graphics drivers, as outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues. Another trick could be to clear the Steam download cache through the settings. Lastly, if all else fails, reinstalling Steam (without losing your games) could be the key!
