  1. Steam causing computer to freeze and nothing downloads?!


    My computer was working just fine, then one day randomly whenever I open steam or try and download something it freezes my entire computer for ~20 seconds and downloads will start out fast, then slowly dwindle down to 0 Mb/s and stop downloading. I've tried tons of solutions on the internet but nothing seems to work. I do not think it is a problem with my SSD, as I am able download games on Epic Games launcher and Ubisoft just fine without issues. I am looking for any help from anybody, as at this point I am becoming desperate for a fix for this annoying issue. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Software or driver conflicts after downloading Windows 10 may be causing the freezing on your computer. Answering the following questions may help us in identifying the underlying cause of the issue:

    • Aside from updating to Windows 10, were there any other changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting an error message or code when the issue happens?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you already performed?

    Regards.
