Check hat your task manager says while this is happening. It may give you a clue on what is happening.

For instance, if your disk usage is maxing out at 100% and you're on a laptop using Windows 10, it can be that stupid power saving crap tripping things up. There is a registry fix to stop that.

But it could equally be something else, like RAM, or CPU usage.

I just tried it now and I saw nothing in task manager,no increase in useage or anything. I am on a desktop PC not a laptop.

I just tried it now and I saw nothing in task manager n,no increase in useage or anything. I am on a desktop PC not a laptop.

Ok, next thing to ask, does it freeze for long, and can you actually do anything else on your PC when it happens?

It freezes for like a min,I can do other stuff on the computer. Steam say not responding for like a min and then it comes up with the game to install.

Ah in that case, it may just be that Steam is a bit wonky at the moment.

Maintenance is always on Tuesday nights, and the last few weeks they've been gradually introducing backend changes and this week Steam seems to be slow and somewhat broken for many, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for you.

I kinda figured that might be the case,glad it wasnt anything else :) At first I thought it might be with my new VR system I just got,I did just get that a few days ago. I thought it might be messing with steam somehow.

Have noticed the forums are loading slowly this week - even with steamstat reporting everything normal.

It's a change they've done to the backend, something to do with word filters that's made it go slow. So steam stats aren't going to say anything untoward.
