I had a Windows firewall notification today after a Steam update. I don't know if that could be related? It was saying that it was blocking some feature of Steam for security/safety reasons.
It didn't prevent me from logging in but I wonder if it could be something to do with your problem.

I did had windows firewall pop up to ask me about a game (I play alot) if it was a safe program.
It was weird because I launched that exe over 1000 times before.

I'm actually having the same issue, i tried to delete ClientRegistry.blob a few times, still didn't work.
If you're having the steam login menu then you can actually make it work. While entering your login infromation don't forget to "tick" the "Always log in in this account". You will be able to log in to your steam account, but that's not permanently!
In some cases firewall is the one who does all this, so go check your firewall settings if it allows steam for everything.
Trying to find what is doing this.

solved. my antivirus for some reason wasn't loaded. It covers the firewall as well. So when it was deactivated, the "regular" firewall was active. This one didn't have the exceptions for the steam client and thus wasn't allowing access.
Cool, thanks :)

Normally my client starts up on its own.
Now it asks me to log in (nothing wrong with that), but the connection fails...
It's been a whole day now.
I try to log in through my browser and all is good..
anyone else having this problem?
thanks
EDIT: might leave this here for other people if that's allowed.
