Hello @PierfrancescoArdino, your log doesn't suggest that steam is dying, can you check if there's a steam tray icon and if you can bring up steam's main window from there? (from #5285)

Yes, it works.

Sill, this is more like a workaround that a proper solution

Thanks for confirming, closing in favor of the existing issue report at #5285.
