By the way, the latest steam version as of today (May 2nd 2024) still works on 7/8.x! Seeing as Valve just recently switched to Chromium 109 after 3 years of being on 85, it may keep getting updates on 7 for a while!
Hello i have written ur code anddid all the things in this video and it still doesnt works my games doesnt open can u help me. And i dont know wht u r saying with this comment. i have windows 8
Bro i got another problem steamui.dll cant load . I use win 7 and i install steam only but didnt update files or download files because another problem steam needs to be online.. this message gone but if i create the steam.cfg message gone and i have steamui.dll problem plz help
Me on October 7th 2024 using steam on windows 7 ultimate currently downloading watch dogs steam still works it's just not getting updates and downloads will be horrendously slower due to that reason so ... yw
@prikolica3567 I have seen a video and it's writing a different code in notepad (just like what I did in the video) I will send you the video I will just find the link and send it here
Bro you literally been caught in 1080p, Steam runned before you copy the file And also this is not the tutorial to how to run steam on windows 7 or 8.1 but your tutorial is about HOW TO BLOCK STEAM UPDATES
ok so I'm not the only one. it spits out no Internet. I dug into the boostrapper log and it literally says OS minimum version not supported before exiting... ugh. There's ways to get steam to stay downgraded but you need a PC to install a working directory of it first.. and if it's not updating... lol
That's a problem that has been happening since 2018 on Windows 8/8.1 and the only fix for it is to ignore the error and click OK. There shouldn't be any problems with doing that.
You can't update windows 7 anymore, microsoft has cut the support years ago. When you try to update it will give you an error message. Please stop spreading misinformation.
@@iamgp3313 You can update it just up to the newest one which was like a year ago from a fresh install you have to download a few updates manually then u can do the rest from the windows update application
@@klaze0121 okay I first manually updated to some 2015 windows 7 update and then it actually worked with the Windows 7 update manager and now 200 updates later I finally got Steam to run on Win 7. You saved my ass, thank you. And sorry for the agressive comment, I tend to do that a lot because I think I'm more likely to get an answer by teasing people as opposed to just asking a question.
I installed steam waiting for it to just not boot but then for some reason it actually booted and works fine xD I didn't even get to the bootstrap stuff lol
A virtual machine is like an operating system in a operating system, an app uses your system hardware to run a operating system on your device, it is mainly used for testing
7:59 if you are still using windows 7, why are you trying to run anything past 2018, you probably don't even meet the minimum requirements, doesn't make sense
just fucking upgrade already its been almost 10 years since 10 came out and its amazing there is no reason to stay on 7 except if you have a potato pc but then you wont play games anyway
INFORMATION
Thia tutorial doesn't work anymore, it will fail to load steamui.dll

It would be goodif u reply fast
And as u would expect i dont understand anything about computer stuff and should i try the other method in this channel?
for me it was working until august but now : ((((
I don't really see why they made such a big deal about it if it was still going to work anyway.
Hey man! Thanks for the shoutout!
When you sped up the video, good that you put the GTA 3 theme song, I listened it to the end :D
Will have to try this out at some point but for now your old method is still working well for me minus one game not working which may be my fault
I'm pretty sure some or most new games won't work on older versions of Steam (due to lack of code to match with the steam client)
@@unknownscout4052 oh didn't know I just know gta 4 doesn't due to rockstar launcher not working on 7 anymore
somehow steam is only running in background and doesnt show in the apps it doesnt show up
same as me :(
@@Hudsonzz same here.

People probably does not need this tutorial, I think no much people have that OSes. But cool that you made a tuto from this!
i sure did
@@WorkInvestimentos Ok, I meant that *most* people does not need this because they have Windows 10 or 11.
It gives me an error: Steam needs to be online to update.
me too, don’t know how to fix it
so funny thing happened, I installed steam and it opened, didn't even get to do the bootstrap part. Works fine too

Steam should still work with Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1, but only with a red banner in the top right corner.
Yeah, but no worries I found a way to remove it!
I will do the video tomorrow
@@unknownscout4052 did you use a theme or just removed it from the files?

Same here - wont update - says no internet despite internet working fine
same here, still finding solution for this

Does dota2 works with this method or the previous one?
CONNECTION PROBLEM
There was a problem communicating with Steam. Please try again later.
You can try running Steam in Offline Mode.
Solution?
I get an error everytime when I start Steam: "gldriverquery crashed"
That's a problem that has been happening since 2018 on Windows 8/8.1 and the only fix for it is to ignore the error and click OK. There shouldn't be any problems with doing that.
Nice
The latest version of steam works fine for me in November 2024.

ay scout thx
gg
just fucking upgrade already its been almost 10 years since 10 came out and its amazing there is no reason to stay on 7 except if you have a potato pc but then you wont play games anyway
you get less performance with Windows 10. I would also use Windows 7 if I didn't have driver issues with Oculus
Some old notebooks don't have their video drivers available in windows 10
Windows 11 or 10 could never compete with Windows 7 speed

@jacer4 windows 7 after 2016 is not much better
@jacer4 I've read a bunch of blogs about how Microsoft backported their telemetry from Windows 8/8.1 and 10 to Windows 7 in 2016
trash... doesn't work at all
Step 1:
Install Windows 11
but... if a the pc of the people is not good
No
