Steam errors

[_kR15n]

Since a few days ago steam began showing me "Disk write error" every time i tried to update anything. Also i couldnt install the newest windows update for the same reason (at least i think) so i went and reinstalled windows and the update one was fixed but the steam one wasnt. Reinstalled windows, reinstalled client, tried to reinstall the games it put out the errors for and the error reappeared. Help me because i tried everything and i cannot access all the games i have on there

 

Other apps not installed via steam install with no errors to the same drive

Only time I've ever had that message was when I ran out of space on the drive. Any chance it's full?

sorry for the bad image quality (even print screen is horrible), using a 1366x768 24 inch tv as a monitor

@CatCam1 have you tried closing steam then opening steam by right clicking steam.exe and run as administrator?

Seems to have fixed the issue for some people.

The list is looong...
Have you tried checking the filesystem integrity?

 

chkdsk /F should solve the problem
