Every time I load Steam, games will either not load if they require a download or if they do load they wont upload to the cloud once I close out.

The only way to fix this is to Clear the download cache which restarts the Steam client and then things will upload. I have tried reinstalling Steam in a new folder and the issue still remains. It's getting very tedious being forced to clear the cache every time I want to start a game and/or upload to the cloud. I have to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME and I am sick and tired of it. No other launchers have this issue. Just Steam.

That's a weird issue. It sounds to me like a security application issue. Check your firewall/AV settings. Pause them for a minute to test it out if you can.

It's only steam that has that problem. GOG, EA Play, Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox App. None have that issue.

Have you tried contacting Steam CS? Sounds like maybe some box you ticked by accident in the settings or something

What's weird is that it still happens despite you reinstalling so even if the rest work an entry in your security software could be blocking Steam specifically.

Another thing to try: Opt in to Steam Beta and test. If it doens't work opt out and try again.

Well fuck. I did a fresh install of Windows a few months back, reinstalled Steam, reloaded and redownloaded all my games and the issue went away.

Now, it's back. I almost started a new thread, but I remembered I made this one and I wanted to see if someone else has suggestions.

It's beyond infuriating to have to clear download cache every single time and restart the Steam client. Every. Fucking. Time. I have to do this and I do not understand why.
