How do I restart steam?
Lately I have been having issues going into Team Fortress 2. It will show that team fortress 2 is preparing to launch and then close. I heard from a certain useless member that restarting steam might help. However, said member failed to mention how to do so. So I looked around on the internet to find out how to restart steam. All attempts have been a fail. Some sources were trolls, viruses (no I did not fall for those), outdated, or involved me going into files and or taking many hours to do so. How do I restart steam in a quick and easy way that does not involve me digging through many files? I am not exactly good with computers and I am still figuring mine out. So please keep it simple.
