Latest Windows update broke downloads to network drives
I think that the latest Windows 11 update broke Steams downloads to network drives, the download clogs everything related to the drives (folders need 10+ minutes to load) and the download freezes (usually quickly), also if you have a drive mapped and you update smth that's been previously on the drive (it isn't now) it breaks Steam's dl.

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 24H2
Installed on ‎30/‎12/‎2024
OS build 26100.2605
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0


Only switching drives to local one worked, but is causing problems while updating. I've also tried deleting Download Cache, didn't make a difference.

Other software doesn't seem to have a problem (unless Steam is trying to download :) )..

Used to be every W11 update, now it's like every 3. Best part is, they fix smth, works for like 2 of them and they break it after that, when fixing smth else.

There is reason why I delay updates as long as possible. It wasn't 1st time dumb windows updates breaking my pc to blue screen of death or some other crap.

I don't rush, but sometimes your Wi-Fi just keeps turning off mid games and you have to.. And I flipped a coin with this one..
