Start10 on Steam will not activate properly

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Please try these steps

First run purge : using this steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486022/start10-support-faq#reinstalling

After you run the purge, reboot, look in Steam to see if there is still an uninstall option:

If so, use it.

After, make sure no Start10 directory exists here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock

If so, delete it.

After, make sure no Start10 directory exists here:

C:\ProgramData\Stardock (note that that is ProgramData not Program Files (x86) )

If so, delete it as well.

After reinstall from Steam and Steam only, it should not ask you for a key. If it does try this again:

You absolutely should have sassteam.exe if you only have the Steam version installed.

Try these steps and let us know if you still have the problem.

Thank you,

Thank you! After going through this I found out that my uninstaller program was detecting the installer as uninstalling the program instead! So it was removing key files without me realizing it. After changing it's settings and reinstalling again everything works fine. Thank you for your prompt response and have a great day!

Hello,

Glad to hear it's OK now .
