Causes of occurrence

In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to understand “where the legs grow from”. The reason that caused the error could be:

• lack of a license;
• blocking by antivirus;
• incompatibility of files.

Let’s move on to solving this error.

Restarting Steam

First of all, it is worth restarting the Steam itself, because it is clear from the name, the whole point is in it. To accomplish this, close the Steam application and ensure that there are no running processes associated with it after closing. You will need to open the Task Manager. This can be done in two ways.

1. Click on any free space in the control panel and select “Start Task Manager”.
2.  Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Del and select Start Task Manager.

• After opening the Task Manager, you need to look at the “Processes” tab

Checking the integrity of files

If the previous point did not solve your problem, then perhaps not all files are intact and you need to view them. What to do in this case? Here is the sequence of actions:

1. You need to go to Steam, select a game and click “Properties”.
2. “Check the integrity of the game files …”.

As a result, if the files were damaged, they will be downloaded.

Reinstalling the Steam program

Use “Programs and Features” to uninstall the Steam application, then download again from their original site.

Disable antivirus

If you have downloaded an antivirus, then we advise you to remove this program, because it can block some files.

Turn off the firewall

It may be that Windows Firewall is blocking the launch and should be disabled. To do it, you need:

1. go to the control panel and open the firewall settings;
2. go to the tab “System and Security”, “Firewall”;
3. go to “Turn Windows Firewall on or off”;
4. and actually turn it off.
