Steam not opening - XxTomzzxX - 08-05-2014

I've tried opening my steam and GMod and neither work, it says steam updating then tomzzelitezz connecting to steam then nothing happens. I've tried looking in task manager and there is no steam process for me to end.
Anyone got any fixes?

CNTRL + ALT + DELETE -> Open the job list -> go to processes -> end Steam.exe -> open steam normally.

That should work.

You gotta double check. Task manager, processes and then scroll down to Steam.exe, if it isn't there will it mean that you will have to reinstall steam.

I've had the problem so I contacted Steam support. Here is the fix:
