The Steam App Won't Connect to Wifi

The Steam App Won't Connect to Wifi - Charging smartphone and white earphones on wooden table

I have a new computer. When I first got it, I downloaded steam and 3 games. After that, i did not use it for 3 months. I recently started using it again. During the time that i did not use it, I bought a couple games on other computers. Now whenever i open the steam app, it says that I am not connected to the wifi even though I am connected. When I go to the steam store, steam works and says those games are added to my library, but when I go to my steam library, the games aren't there. After that, i tried downloading the games through the store, but it won't download.

BTW, I am trying to download shadow of mordor



Best Answer

Something is blocking your application from accessing the internet. You need to disable windows firewall by going to your Control Center then going to security, you can also temporarily disable any anti-malware or antivirus programs you may have installed on your computer to test this out. Once you have done that, and it still doesn't work, you need to contact steam support as there's nothing further we could really do on SE
