How do you know it is fine ?Įxact path to where you have Steam installed on your computer. Have you actually ran a disk check and checked the hard drive for errors ? All I see is you said "the hard drive is fine". Opening Steam and seeing problems like this does not mean Steam was the cause of the problems. If you meant that you are missing the shortcuts in that GAMES folder, that's another issue.Īlso, just because an issue presents itself right at the moment you do a certain action, that does not necessarily mean that action was the cause of the issue.

That's why I was talking about shortcuts above. Does that mean you have Steam installed to that folder also ? Because the normal installed path to Steam game folders is ProgramFiles/Steam/steamapps/common.

You said "GAMES folder", so apparently you mean in the Windows menu. Not even sure how anyone can think Steam would uninstall/delete your Origin games.

Steam did not remove your games, as well as your common folder.
#All steam games software#
I am guessing you mean third party software updates, but we can't know for sure if you reupdated everything essential since that restore point, including the OS and/or drivers.Īlso, restoring was maybe only going to get the files back (and not that fully in this case), not fix the actual issue causing this, unless that previous version somehow removed the actual cause, which it seems it did not. You said you disable software updates, so I have to guess what you mean when you say that.

Your OS might depend on this here, but as far as I can tell, you have not posted your specs (including OS) here as of yet.
#All steam games drivers#
After doing a restore point, you have to also now reupdate Windows and any drivers also, if that applies. I'll really have to redownload almost 200GB of games just cause. Originally posted by Dereshi:Using a restoration point only brought back very few files and it was all still broken. Going to add this here in case it might help and I miss your reply : Therefore, I would suggest finding and fixing the actual problem and just saving the files for now, if you can get any of them at all using this method or other.ĮDIT.Sorry for the long post. However, that still does not address the actual issue, of course, but only maybe gets the files back so you hopefully don't have to redownload them. Since you said you got some of the files from a restore point, see if you can manually get them this way using the previous versions tab instead, if possible. Right click and go to "properties", then "previous versions" tab on top. Go to the folder or drive where the games were installed. There is still a problem, of course, so just saying that in case. Shortcuts can become broken or missing due to other issues. Only use your Steam library and "play" buttons. Are you saying that the shortcuts are the only thing missing ?ĭon't use any shortcuts while troubleshooting issues just like this. Originally posted by Dereshi:When it finished the images that appear behind the games were in a smaller size so I closed and opened Steam again hoping to fix that, then I noticed I only had 2 non-Steam shortcuts on my INSTALLED list.
