Tired of dealing with the annoying Disk Write Error on Steam? In this video, I'll guide you through the exact steps to fix this issue quickly and easily, so you can get back to your games without any hassle.
We'll show you how to check if your hard drive is write-protected and how to clear the Steam download cache. We’ll also cover repairing the Steam Library folder and verifying the integrity of game files to ensure nothing is corrupted. Finally, I'll explain how to update your drivers and run Steam as an administrator, both of which can help resolve this error.

The read-only thing works for me, tysm. idk if it's related since I moved my Steam library from my old HDD to a new SSD last month, but t's all fixed now thanks to your video!

I tried all of those options and my user is on full control but the read only keeps enabling after I click apply and OK. So not sure why it keeps enabling while my user has full control. Any solutions?

I don't think it has anything to do with your Steam or your computer settings. I tried to connect from Steam, from a Webbrowser, and from my phone. On Steam and on the phone app, I can't connect to Google, Error 500, and on the Webbrowser I can log in, but then white screen. In other words, I believe that is more a server issue by either Steam or Google/KZbin. Best you can do is write a complaint or wait till the issue gets fixed by them.

Okay so, I tried everything in this video and nothing worked. And now, weirdly, my steam app has completely disappeared and I tried reinstalling it but it won't let me. Everytime I try to it says "Steam app is already running, close it to continue." Please I need help I have absolutely no idea how to fix this issue.

my firewall has red shields with a cross and because of that i cant allow steam through the firewall. any way i can fix that because i have no idea how to change it?

@DarkGaming-cb3dd 13 күн бұрын

So. Non was working for me, but I just uninstalled steam. And reinstalled it in the disk storage that I wanted my games to be downloaded on. For example I noticed that the steam was on "C" drive. And I wanted my games on "D" drive so I just changed it's path to D drive when re-installing. Hope this helped someone, if you have any doubts lemme know though I may not be able to help you that much.

Every time I make Steam folder NOT read-only (unchecked), it just changes it back again after it completes. Even with Steam closed. Nothing here worked for me. In fact, now I have MORE games with write error failures.

If you have AVG uninstall that crap, shit was hassling me trying to download war thunder. Only do so if you are comfortable with that. But it will block you from downloading games and the only clear solution I could find was to just get rid of it.

@luketheduke526 2 ай бұрын

Was literally taking all the good solutions in this video and wouldn’t let me do anything without access from administrator. Also to uninstall you just have to go to the website and type in on the search bar, “uninstall AVG Antivirus” click on the AVG .exe with the icon
