Steam: Fix error code 80

• Steam: Quit Steam completely and restart the program. In some cases the problem is already solved.
• Restart: Even restarting Windows can do little miracles. Errors in the buffer are thus eliminated.
• Delete file: Open the Steam installation directory and delete the "clienregistry.blob" file. You can usually find the directory under "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam". Steam should be closed.
• Steam down: The error may also be with Steam itself. How to find out whether Steam is down is shown in this practical tip.
• Reinstallation: If the error still occurs after several days, you cannot avoid reinstallation. You can download Steam from us in the CHIP download area for installation.
