Steam keeps crashing whenever I try to launch it. The first time I launched Steam it worked fine, but after quitting Steam and PlayOnMac to later that day open the application it no longer launched. I would appreciate any help with the problem I am facing. Below are my specifications, error message, and crash report.

Operating System - MacOS 12.4

PlayOnMac Version - 4.4.3

Graphics card - Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 1536 MB

Error Message - Error in main Steam crashed.
