    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me solve this, because I've spent all week troubleshooting this to no avail. I got randomly kicked out of Steam while playing a game using Windows 11 on my parallels desktop (I have a Mac M1) and I've tried all the troubleshooting steps below, and there is no support available from Steam...
    - Restarting Windows
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling Steam
    - Ending processes in task manager
    - Running Steam as an administrator
    - Updating my Mac, Parallels, AND Steam

    No matter what I do, when I try to open Steam, I get the same message that it's "updating and extracting packages" etc...then I wait for the window to open for the app and nothing happens. When I go to task manager nothing steam related even shows up in background processes. It just disappears on it's own. I have no idea what's even going on. Any advice??

    Hi,

    My technical report is 433510555. All I did was try to open the App and take a few screen shots of what I'm seeing. Please advise.
