Quick tip: If Steam is being stubborn and won't close the normal way, hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, find Steam under the 'Processes' tab, and click 'End Task'. Then just reopen Steam like you normally would.
All these steps are fine, but sometimes just logging out and logging back in does the trick without closing the whole app.
Honestly, just reboot your PC. Fixes most things, including Steam issues.
