First, give the classic 'turn it off and on again' strategy a go by restarting your Steam client. If that doesn't work, try logging out and logging back into your account. These steps fix surprisingly many issues without getting too technical.

If you're still out of luck, check if there's an ongoing outage or maintenance on Steam's end by visiting Steam's official status page or communities like Reddit. Sometimes, it's not you; it's them!

Lastly, ensure your internet connection is stable. A shaky internet can cause sync issues, so maybe give your router a friendly reboot too. If all else fails, contacting Steam support is your best bet. They've seen it all, trust me.

Just use the mobile app. Works every time for me when the desktop client acts up.

Try disabling your firewall or antivirus temporarily. Sometimes these programs mistakenly see Steam's sync process as a threat. Just remember to turn them back on after!
