How to run Steam on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 in 2024 (LINKS FOR PACKAGES IN DESCRIPTION)
Welp, it is that time again when Valve decides to prevent people from using their client on a bunch of people’s working computers, with non bloatware OS’s!
So, as a result of this, just like with XP and Vista back in 2019, I am uploading this for those of you who want to install Windows 7 or 8 after the new year, and thankfully for the time being, no other certificate updates should be needed. But eventually, it will probably be required to keep using Steam on 7 or 8.
For those of you, like myself, that already have Steam installed on 7 or 8, and want to block updates, it is very simple to do.
First off, make sure Steam is not running in the background.
Once you do that, all you need to do is create a blank text document on the desktop, and paste in the following 2 lines:
BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
BootStrapperForceSelfUpdate=disable
and then go to File, and click on Save As. Then, name the file , and make sure to change the file type from Text Document to All Files. Then hit Save, and simply copy over the newly created file over to your root Steam directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam.
Now, launch Steam and manually check for updates, by going to Steam at the top left corner of the client, and then clicking on “Check for Steam Client Updates...“
If you get an error like “Something went wrong while checking for a Steam Client update“, then chances are you did it correctly.
