There are no issues with my internet connection, no changes in firewall settings, nothing at all. Anyone have any guesses? This has been going on for a couple of days, so it's not routine maintenance...

Thanks for any help!
Type steam://flushconfig and use it in your browser address, then launch from the .exe file in the directory.

If this does not work, delete everything except for the folder where your games are and the .exe. Double click the .exe and it will reinstall itself.
