unable to update apps

[spielerinchen]

since the last steam update the Manage Downloads doesn't work.
the notifications in red change between : No internet connection. Manifest unavailable. Time out.
so all apps don't get updated at all. not even demos. nothing gets an update.


any help would be appreciated.

No internet connection. , still mean you have no connection into steam server, from your ISP maybe, firewall and antivirus app is most common issue, and ofc ISP congesstion and no route into steam,through your ISP.

You have 2 option ask steam support and own ISP, ( and i doubt you have change anything at your end and work maybe yesterday or day before.

Do not forget reboot router and pc 3 to 12 minute after , depend on house network until it say network is ready.


if wifi use cable as test.


Most of the steam user that has this fix itsself with24hours, and that mean from your wallplug into steam is the problem ( also mean local building isp or own isp and there partners partner that has a issue atm, untill they fix it.


Do have own SMS service if you own isp offer such service it can safe you alot of greef then you know they are working on fiber or planned work.


ps.
any internet issue is technicaly your ISP problem, we just dont say it like that, because own equipment can also do this, so test with spare pc, to ruleout ISP and steam in other end is a good idea.

1) reboot your computer
2) reboot your router

[spielerinchen]

i am online, so yeah ... it's not my connection, the steam client doesn't recognize that i am online

today is another day, so, yeah, i rebooted my PC

router is not an option since there is another PC on the very same router, no such problems there

same with a different region, doubtful it's about the region since the other PC has not those problems

it's also not the ISP (internet service provider) since ... the other PC

-

what's with the error Manifest unavailable ? & Time Out ?

is this usual that all 3 errors are about the same lack of internet connection or is the reason something else, like the steam client just doesn't know what's happening ?

[spielerinchen]

the issue remains unsolved

HELP ! ! !


btw, tried changing the region server, same results.
unplugged plugged in cord, no change
Firewall, Antivirus - Steam, Valve allowed
the update since it started was the - App on Private change

Talk with your internet service provider = ISP

no one else has you location from where you live into your ISP network and then to next jump partner. ( msg is loud and clear somehow you cant connect to steam. ( client do say n o internet connectionin the buttom status line if im not mistake, ( only as we said your security can do this, and i bet you did not change anything, thats why you ask own ISP. )

and we cant fix ISP network if they are the reason why it dont work, test with spare pc is seen as good test.



belucky if you have nextdoor neighbour with same ISP you can ask, ( and steam user ofc )
this is not so simple then longer away from own buildding you live in.

[spielerinchen]

on the very same connection & provider is another PC, has no problems

the ISP is Telekom Germany, not some strange fringe provider

[how bout i do anyway]

Have you tried reinstalling the Steam client?

no, i haven't. i will do that now.

Start your system in safe mode (for obvious reasons with networking). Does Steam download then?

good now you know you have own pc to wall plug issue ( router even ) if this has work before then its only own pc issue.



its here safe boot mode, that so many steam guids can tell you you have interference issue.

[spielerinchen]

well ... installed steam. now can't even get into cause

Fatal Error
Steam needs to be online. Please confirm your network connection and try again.

i mean, i am online. just steam doesn't recognize it.
did for years.
windows updated right now. no change.

& why "safe boot mode" ?
