Oh well managed to get it working but had to uninstall Steam and reinstall! Bit of a PTA!

CTRL, ALT and Del and task manager and end steam in there - I have had this too a few times.

Didn’t work in this case. Even restarting PC it was still showing as running…

Yes, I had to repeat the process a few times for it to take. I don’t know why it happens Im not good with coding stuff.
