[UPDATED 2023] How to Fix Disk Write Error (Steam)

hey guys what's going on today I'll show you how to fix the discrete error that you're getting while downloading and installing the update from Steam this area is pretty easy to fix so without further Ado let's get straight into it so first we're going to go to Windows search menu and we're going to search for steam then we're going to right click on this app that appears right here we're gonna click on open file location and then this window will appear so in this window we're gonna click on this shortcut we're going to right click on it and we're going to click properties right here then once the this window appears we're going to go to compatibility Tab and under compatibility tab we are going to click on run this program as administrator and we're going to click first apply and afterwards we're going to click ok afterwards we're going to open the steam application don't open it before that so we're going to open Steam it's going to say if I want to open this theme and this is when it opens so usually this already fixes the discrete error but if it doesn't then we're going to go to the second way which is by going to the steam in the top left corner we're gonna click on settings we're gonna go down to the storage so once here you have first have to select the correct disk so in my case I have my games on the D disk and this is where I have to repair the folder this will basically repair the folders it usually takes about one to two minutes to resolve all the issues and afterwards it's going to ask you to restart this team afterwards you're just going to click on continue and then you're gonna get to the main menu of this Steam app so the steam will open up again and you will be left at this window if this does not fix your issue with a disk right error then you can go again to steam then go to settings and you can then go to downloads and then you can go all the way to the bottom where you can see Clear download cache you're going to clear the cache and this should be the last resort so this is when you definitely clear everything and the steam will shut down and they should completely fix your issue now while this does not necessarily fix your issue let me know in the comments down below if this if those three ways did not help you in any way and I'll try to help you afterwards without well with that being said have a wonderful day and I'll see you in the next video
