Causes of Steam Client Bootstrapper Program Errors
Quite a lot of users regard their computer as a regular iron tool that never breaks, and special care is not required. However, everything is not so simple, and this error is proof of this.

In addition to the kernel, additional programs are loaded: drivers, desktop elements, antiviruses, as well as user applications, which include Steam.
Many computer owners claim that the termination of the Steam Client Bootstrapper program is due to the fact that the user did not remove Steam from the Windows startup field and the application simply does not have enough memory to load correctly and quickly. From this comes the “eternal” loading, cluttering the memory stack with its presence in it, and other undesirable effects. It is also worth noting that if your hard drive is too old and worn out, then the reason may also be in it.
