How to fix an error on the Steam disk March 31, 2022by Martin 6 Valve Steam logo on a blue background "Disc write error" when downloading or updating a game on Steam has several possible causes. Fortunately, most of them do not indicate a serious problem with your computer. In most cases, a disk write error is due to a permissions issue or corruption and can be easily resolved. Restart Steam and your computer It's a cliché for a reason - turning it off and on again works . If you suddenly get a disk write error, try restarting Steam. Click on the Steam icon in the system tray (notification area) in your taskbar and click on "Exit". You can also click Steam > Exit in the Steam application window. If restarting Steam doesn't work, restart your computer .
Restarting your computer restarts hardware drivers, closes all running C Level Executive List programs, and clears memory. If the disk write error is due to an error with Windows (or any other operating system), there is a good chance that your computer can fix it. Check write permissions A disk write error can also be caused by a permission problem. If the Steam library folder is set to read-only, or the user account you run Steam with does not have write permissions for the library folder, Steam may encounter a disk write error. Let's check and see if this is the problem. First, close Steam if it's running. Then, right-click on the icon you normally use to launch Steam and click "Run as administrator."
Cick Try the download again. If it works, you have a permission problem. If this does not solve the problem, you can go to one of the other sections - the instructions in this section are not suitable for you. Always run Steam as administrator The first and easiest way to fix permission problems is to always run Steam as an administrator . Right-click your Steam icon and click Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab, select Run as administrator, then click Apply and OK. Choose Note: Running Steam as an administrator will cause Steam to warn you that it is running in compatibility mode. As long as you just set it to "Run as administrator", you can ignore this message. Change permissions for your user For security reasons, it's not a great idea to always run programs as administrator if you can help it.
