In this video, I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can troubleshoot or how you can fix
0:04
Steam games not launching on Windows 10
0:07
or Windows 11. If you find this video
0:10
helpful, I'll kindly request that you
0:11
support me by liking this video and also
0:14
by subscribing to this channel. So, if
0:16
you have your Steam games not launching,
0:19
then the best thing you need to do is to
0:21
go ahead and try several methods to fix
0:23
that problem. Now, the first thing you
0:25
need to do is to go ahead and click on
0:26
library here on your Steam app or web.
0:30
And then once you are here, you'll see a
0:32
list of all the games that you have
0:33
downloaded. Go ahead and click on the
0:36
one that can't play or that can't
0:38
launch. So, for instance, I only have
0:40
this one. And I'll use this one as an
0:42
example. Once you click on it, you'll
0:45
see it here, details, and then go ahead
0:47
and right click on it. And then go to
0:51
properties here. Now under properties go
0:54
ahead and click on installed files and
0:56
then what you want to do is to go ahead
0:58
and verify the integrity of the games
1:01
file. So if you go ahead and click on
1:03
verify integrity of the game files, it
1:06
will go ahead and check for any corrupt
1:08
files on this game and then try and fix
1:11
them. So it will go ahead and do an
1:13
integrity check and verification to make
1:16
sure that the files are okay. And if
1:19
there is any that has an issue or
1:22
corrupt, it will fix it automatically.
1:25
Now our verification is done. And as you
1:28
can see, all 1572 files were
1:32
successfully validated. And now
1:34
everything should be okay. At this
1:36
point, go ahead and try playing the game
1:38
and see if that has fixed the problem.
1:41
However, if you're still experiencing
1:43
any problem with your Steam games, then
1:45
you may want to go ahead and try out the
1:48
second method. Now, in the second
1:49
method, go ahead and click on Steam
1:53
And from here, look for settings. Now,
1:56
under settings, go ahead and click on
2:01
Now, under downloads, we want to go
2:02
ahead and clear the download cache files
2:05
for this game. So, if you scroll, you'll
2:07
be able to see clear download cache. So
2:10
one of the reason why your steam game is
2:12
not launching is because of accumulation
2:14
of this download cache files. When we
2:16
talk of cache files, we are talking of
2:19
small files that your app normally
2:21
stores to enhance user experience. But
2:23
the problem is when these files
2:25
accumulate, sometimes they might cause
2:27
your game or your app malfunction. So go
2:30
ahead and click on clear cache here. And
2:33
then you have to note that this will
2:35
clear your local download cache and
2:37
restart Steam. You will need to log in
2:39
to Steam again for you to be able to
2:42
continue. So go ahead and confirm by
2:45
clicking on okay. And once you are done
2:47
with this, now go ahead and try play
2:49
your game. And this should have fixed
2:52
your problem. However, if you still have
2:54
any issue with your Steam games, then
2:57
you may want to go ahead and restart
2:59
your computer and see if that fixes your
3:02
problem. If the problem still persist,
3:05
then you may want to go ahead and check
3:07
the computer drivers and make sure they
3:09
are up to date. For that, you just go
3:11
ahead and search for device manager and
3:14
click on it to open. And here we go.
3:17
Now, from here, go ahead and choose this
3:19
option called disk drivers and click on
3:23
it and see that your drivers are up to
3:26
date. If we have any that is not up to
3:28
date, just go ahead and make sure that
3:31
you right click on it and then update
3:33
drivers and then you can search
3:35
automatically for drivers and they'll be
3:38
installed on your computer. Once your
3:40
drivers are up to date, now go ahead and
3:43
try opening your Steam games to see if
3:47
the problem has been solved. However, if
3:50
you're still experiencing any problem,
3:52
then the final thing you need to do is
3:53
to go ahead and uninstall all the games
3:56
that have issues and then install them a
3:59
fresh. By using any of these methods,
4:01
you should be able to fix your games or
4:04
launch your game successfully on Steam
4:07
games. If you have any other question,
4:09
kindly let me know in the comment
4:10
section. Otherwise, thanks for watching
4:12
and let's meet in the next video.
