I've got the same problem before. I rollback my nvidia driver to v450 and Steam came back to work.

So, the most easy way to do it is opening the 'Software & Update' find the 'Additional Drivers' tab and then choose an old driver version.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
