I think operating system I have been corrupted and so therefore I would like to suggest you to make system file checker on your system and so that you can solve your issue. To run the system file checker on your system you need to go through the below steps: first make click on the start icon and after that click on the run. Now on the run type: cmd and after that click on the ok button. Now you will get the command prompt and under that type the below command and after that press enter key:
Quote:
Sfc/scannow
Now once you finish this command and after that reboot the system and after that make sure your getting the issue or not.

I think your issue related to related to user access rights for folders files and registry entries and I think your system DCIMAN32.DLL file has been corrupted and so therefore you’re getting the issue. The DCIMAN32.DLL is an essential component of Windows, is not in your Windows installation, then install the operating system has been damaged. You may have to find a copy of the DLL and replace it, or you may have to reinstall Windows. Unfortunately, there is no way around steam in terms of certain basic components of Windows, and it is essential that the operating system is completely installed and not damaged by many programs including steam to operate.

Try to delete the clientregistry.blob file and after that force another client update and after that you can solve your issue. just open the location where you have installed the Steam game and after that locate to the clientregistry.blob file. Now once you located to this file and after that make right click on the clientregistry.blob file and after that select the delete. Now once you delete the clientregistry.blob and after that start the steam game and then force to updated the steam client again.
