Steam won't reinstall onto my Windows 11 laptop, says it can't connect to the network

Post Body

I was playing a game using Steam when it kicked me out of the game and said I didn't have a connection. I exited the game and tried to reopen it but it kept denying the action because it said Steam couldn't connect to the network. It let me start in offline mode but wouldn't let me go online. I turned off my laptop and wife multiple times to no avail. I scoured the internet for answers and one idea was to uninstall and reinstall Steam so I uninstalled. However, when I went to reinstall, it lets me but then when I try to open the Steam Client, it shows the Steam Update bar and then shows a Fatal Error box that says it can't update because of it can't connect to the network and thereby I can't open steam. I tried granting Steam administrative access to my laptop but that didn't work either. I don't know why any of this happened as I haven't changed anything about my laptop in months. Some help for this would be very, uh, helpful lmao as I am not very tech savvy and have no idea what caused any of this. I also don't know if this is a common problem or just one I'm experiencing. Thanks ahead for any help
