[How to fix?] Many games have "Update queued"

[Dennis[DK]]

A lot of my games in my Library have "Update queued" written after the games name, like it tries to update, but not are allowed.
But I haven't any games under instalment, or anything else that blocks. So how can this be? Have I, by mistake, deselected the auto-update function?

How do I fix this "Update queued" issue?

I think it means that it's ready to download, but it's waiting on your input. If you have the auto-update active, and have a timeframe set, it won't update until it's in that timeframe. My auto-update is set for 10pm-9am, so it won't update until after 10pm and before 9am.

It's also most likely connected to the Server content unreachable issue many have, where Steam just can't download any patches or games.
I have it for both a game I wanted to play after a while, and one game that had an auto-update in queue before I relaunched Steam to finish its own update that ended up breaking downloads.

Hmm, strange, in my download overview everything was scheduled tomorrow... In spite of that I don't have any schedule plans in my settings.So I click "download now" on every items, and fixed it that way.
But the strange thing is that almost every item was "empty downloads" (0 bytes).

I had that just the other day. I don't know why it's doing it, but it hasn't affected anything that I know of.

Oh god, I uninstalled a game that was sitting in my queue, Darkest Dungeon, and that prompted every other game installed to be bumped with an auto-update! D:
(Probably relating to that annoying auto-update with CommonRedist files)
Now all my games are sitting in my library without the ability to reach the server to square their updating!

I have this problem, but when I go to manually update my games, it does jack-all and stays there. I tried uninstalling one game and when I tried to re-install it, it told me that I had an update queued for a game that was uninstalled and refused to let me install it. Please someone help me I am loosing my mind.

All of you, what games are you playing? There has been something wrong in Steam's content servers and I know what Valve's employees have been doing.
