    Valve pulled support for Steam at the start of January 2024 for Windows 7/8. I thought that was the end, but apparently it actually just meant “Steam may still run but we don’t support it in any way”. Which surprised me when I booted up the old Windows 7 PC a few months ago and discovered that Steam still ran and seemed to work.

    Apparently this update is actually incompatible and now Steam won’t run at all.

      It’s probably the inbuilt browser component that seems to be in everything these days.

      Chrome pulled support for Win 7 and 8 ages ago, so anything that relies on an up to date browser is sure to follow.
