Windows 10 and steam stop start download issue? Anyone have any ideas how this works? Tour Start here for a quick overview of the site. Steam repeatedly pauses downloads. How to stop Steam continually downloading and installing Mafia 2?
Everytime I start a download it will work for a little amount of time but then it will pause and say 'UPDATE REQUIRED (NOT QUEUED)'. It also says it is scheduled for a certain time a few minutes in the future and the download will then continue but will stop again only to have the same error. It means I can't download any games and it is incredibly frusttrating. I have searched for a solution all over the net and I guarantee that if you give me a solution that is generic I have already done it so please give me something useful.
Also, when I click play on the game to have it auto launch, it says it cannot download the game and in brakctes it says download corrupt. I have also set GTA V (one of the games not working) to a high priority. In addition to this, I can't boot up certain games which may have something to do with it.
If you need any more info, please ask and I'll respond very fast. I am talking minutes (including the time it takes me to type or get info).
I am on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit by the way. Here are my specs -
* CPU: Intel i5 4690k
* GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 270x Dual-X OC 2GB
* RAM: 8GB Hynix RAM @ 1600MHz
* SSD: HyperX Fury 120GB
* SSD 2: HyperX Fury 120GB
* HDD: Western Digital Caviar blue 1TB @ 7200RPM
* HDD 2: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB @ 7200RPM
* MOBO: ASUS Z97-K

I have the permanent fix at long last. Yes it's a fix in normal windows not safe mode but you have to go to safe mode first to make sure this fix will work for you.
I found this by comparing processes in safe mode with networking and eliminating processes to find the culprit in normal mode. took about an hour.
First of all reboot your windows 10 pc in safe mode WITH NETWORKING.
If you need to figure out how to do that google it separately or on your phone.
Try to download something on steam. With me, it worked perfectly like a charm, no start-stop.
If that works for you, restart your pc back in normal mode and follow these steps to fix the problem fast.
Go to control panel->administrative tools->services
Looking at the services, CDPUserSvc_3e1f2 is the piece of garbage responsible
