In addition, users affected by this issue not only experience it when downloading content from Steam but also experience it when downloading anything from other applications or programs, such when downloading drivers from the GeForce Experience application. However, neither lagging/hanging nor a dangerously high CPU usage is seen by affected users when downloading files directly off the internet. Through the rigorous hard work and, of course, the trial and error of Windows 10 users who have been affected by this problem in the past, the culprit behind this problem has been identified as no more than a simple bcedit value that had been set to true in the past.

In order to do so, you need to follow steps as stated below Right-click on the Start Menu button to open the WinX Menu. Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
