So I open steam. I click on "Games". The drop down menu opens. I click on "Activate a product on steam...". Nothing happens. The window that would usually pop up and allow me to enter a code doesn't pop up. In the past it has worked just fine and I have redeemed several game codes with no problem. Am I doing something wrong?

That's why I like using this page to register keys...

There is a known bug after the UI update that broke the Add A Game in the bottom left.

I know this is old, but I had this same issue. I just went to the steam tab, settings, and downloads, where I then cleared the cache and after logging back in it worked fine again. So anyone with that issue now and find this thread like I did then you might wanna try that. If that doesn't work then def just use the link given above.

Also sorry if what I said didn't make too much sense, but try clearing the Steam cache and see if that works.

The long way around to that page is...

Go to Support, type in "Activating a Product on Steam" and that support FAQ page has a link to it under the "Register through browser" section on that page.

This is the page to look for...
