I try to start a new Ironman game, however in the country selection window i see that game is NOT in ironman mode. Hovering with mouse over checkmark in the left of the window it says that game has to be not modified to be in ironman mode. I don't modify my game in any way, and i use only one DLC - Songs of Yuletide. How can i fix the problem?

You are loading no mods at all? What version and checksum show in the main game menu? Have you successfully started one before?
Steam must be running (servers and client), be in online mode, and Cloud Save enabled in Steam.

Problem is SOLVED. I don't know if my actions were the reason, but here's what i did: i unchecked Cloud Save in Steam, closed that window, then open again and checked to enable Cloud Save. After that i opened game and it appears Ironman Mode is enabled.

I have the exact same problem!
The check box for ironman mode is grey and reminds me to unmodify and validate the game. I have unchecked all mods, I have verified the integrity of game cache, I have checked for latest updates, I have reinstalled the game and deleted the EU4 folder in my documents. Still, ironman mode does not work.
I have never attempted to play in ironman mode before and can therefore not confirm when this issue began.
Please help!

I remember that i also restarted my steam application. Try to restart it. Also it wouldn't be bad to try to restart your computer and then open EU4.
