PlatformMenu.vdf file errors often occur during the startup phase of Steam, but can also occur while the program is running. These types VDF errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Steam is running. Here are some of the most common PlatformMenu.vdf runtime errors:
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam\games\PlatformMenu.vdf
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Most VDF errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your PlatformMenu.vdf file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Steam), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, PlatformMenu.vdf file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Steam, system crash while loading or saving PlatformMenu.vdf, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying PlatformMenu.vdf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Valve typically does not release Steam VDF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing PlatformMenu.vdf and all other VDF files for Steam. An incorrectly installed VDF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
