Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Most UI elements take an unexpected amount of time to function. Hovering over the Help text at the top took a couple seconds to highlight it. Clicking it took a couple seconds for the dropdown to appear etc.
The library is mostly responsive, and the store is hit or miss.
Sometimes windows don't even switch, clicking library often takes quite a long time to load. I went to steam help for an unrelated issue, and typing was impossible. I ended up having to copy paste instead which still took quite a long time.
Once I can get to run games, they work perfectly fine. I can run them with the expected framerate, and no other applications on my system have this issue.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Start steam
- Attempt to interact with the user interface
