The point of this video is to teach you how to fix a problem with steam
that doesn't let you download games or updates
As you can see when I try to download an update on steam it just stays at 0/bytes
And it just doesn't download whatsoever
This happens when I try and download new games or games already in my library
and
the only thing that seems to work is workshop content
So if you are having this problem or a similar problem
then I am going to show you a method that worked for ME to fix it
it might not work for you but I am just going to share it because it worked for me
My problem was with Windows Firewall, so you are going to want to open up Windows Firewall
and disable it
and then you are going to want to restart Steam and see if your downloads start working again
this was the problem for me, as soon as I disabled Firewall my steam started working normally
so I knew that Windows Firewall was the problem
also if you have any Anti-virus software
I don't use any but they usually have a Firewall built into those as well
so if you have some Anti-Virus installed you are going to want to open it up, go in the settings
and disable the firewall that is most likely build into that as well
so if after disabling Windows Firewall your downloads start to work again you know that
it's the Windows Firewall that was causing the problem
so now what you want to do is go back to Windows Firewall
enable it but then you want to restore default settings
this means all the programs that you have got installed when you start them up again
it will ask for new permissions that's basically all it is going to do
it's just going to completely reset all of the settings on the firewall
you just saw that after resetting the settings on the Firewall
I restarted steam and once I re-opened it a box came up asking to give it permissions through the firewall
so I did that and now as you can see my games are downloading normally
so if this video helped you out I would appreciate it if you leave a like
and if you need any more help just leave a comment and I will try and do my best to help you
