steamwebhelper
"steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding. The Steam UI will not be usable. Click here for more information.

Let's try to help:

(*) Restart Steam
( ) Restart Steam with GPU Acceleration disabled
( ) Restart steamwebhelper
( ) Exit Steam

None of these options fix the problem. I have already downloaded and reinstalled Steam.

I'm stuck.

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
2.6 GHz 6-core Intel i7
AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
32 GB RAM 2667 MHz DDR4
MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1

After a complete system reboot from a cold restart Steam worked again. [Self fixed?]

Yeah, the first time I installed Steam, the install instructions stated I had to reboot at the end... they meant it. Steam would just not work for me until after I rebooted.

I'm not completely sure what Steam needed to install, but I'm guessing it had to install software for lower level hardware access which would then necessitate a reboot.
