Error -101, can't connect to Steam/Discord/Origin

[Capricious]

Essentially anything and everything that's not a browser will not connect. Issue randomly started 2-3 days ago. Tried flushing dns, the basics, and nothing.

Do not be a win7 OS. msg is loud and clear here, have a nice day if you are.

it not our job as steam user to HOT fix what system dont seem to support anymore.
and if steam even want to try fix it, thats another matter or can.

and yet you can have other DNS or reboot router , its simple not to know other then you fit the 2-3 days ago

https://steamerrors.com/101 - Needs to provide a valid captcha

Try manually clearing Steam's web cache, then try logging in. If you use the same password across multiple services, it may be prudent to change your passwords on the off-chance someone's been spamming your accounts with login attempts prompting captcha necessity.

As to the other clients, contact their support. Not much help to be found here.

It's Windows 10. Sadly I cannot reboot the router because it's uni halls internet, which means I can only really work with my pc.

ask that IT department or whoever is in controll, but do mention its funny that timeslot run into same issue as other with sll/tsl certificates issue with secure in crypted tunnel , and alot of other IT brake downs on the same time, and you know how it is soon or later not all fit in same box.

even i have seen outdate app backdoor upload tunnel dont work. same BS and im on win10 and have to get a modifyed certificate to get it to work.

its simple not that easy to say only win7 issue then other app with own certificate can do same thing. ( and thats why its good you notice the time index on the problem.)

Should I try the manual certificate change then? I've seen that solution in other threads but it was always about Windows 7.

so every privat server with secure crypt tunnel could be a issue. you have no clue what in the other end. unless you set it up. and know better.

thats your choise, as normal steam user , no one here can put head on block and say go for it, steam dont like things link so this is no diffrence, files from unknown source can give issue with what steam allow, and yet maybe not a steam issue but could be later. so its your choise.

do know the difftrence here can you say go for a fix then MS has stop lifecycle and all support
and same with certificate time/date stamp okay on them to site you dont own.

i hope you get it, user choise and know the consequence of them if you do it.

delete cache steam :) selecting "Steam > Settings" from the top left client menu. In the Settings panel, select the Downloads tab and you'll find the "Clear Download Cache" button at the bottom. Then select "OK" to confirm and acknowledge that you'll need to login to Steam again.

Done that yeah, and also I checked and I can download games on Steam and what not, it is technically online, just throwing error -101 "not connected to the internet" whenever I try to browse anything on the app.
