Steam – 54 Games Missing From Steam Library

steamtechnical-issues

Since Steam forced its new "improved" UI on its users, 54 games have vanished from my library—and that's just ONE Steam account; two others are similarly afflicted. All owned games show up in Games Owned in user profile, but one cannot MANAGE the games (install or launch, et cetera) from there.

Shortly before this new undesired and disastrous change in the UI, I had reset my Steam Library preferences to default, removing all category settings. Now the old settings are back, and it's a hopeless mess.

In all probability a specific filter is set in the new UI, preventing you from seeing all games.

There are several ways this can be changed:

  1. Maybe the dedicated button to filter out games that are currently unavailable is switched on:

    Steam - Show only Read to Play games

  2. There is a myriad of preset tags to choose from to filter your game library to create 'Dynamic Collections', and this might have filtered out part of your library:

    Steam - Set up Dynamic Collections

  3. Lastly, there is a drop-down menu to the left of the former two options, that allows you to filter software, videos, and tools. The option for 'Games' might be deselected:

    Steam - Filter media
