I've been looking into it more and it is Windows 8, apparently this site is compatible with Windows 7 but sadly not this new Windows 8, which is really sad, because I hate this laptop already but knowing that its hard to download ANYTHING because of this new design makes me sad. Basically my Lenovo Windows 10 PC store has broken on itself. I have signed in only on store as I just can't be bothered to sign up for everything. I am trying to download Minecraft Win 10 Trial, but this isn't letting me. It's turning grey and when I check in search it is not there.

Have the same problem after an update to V3.4 build 30635 runninv on Windows Vista x64. Disabling & then re-enabling DHT works for me & gets the download working. And it's not like it's some obscure, weird file that no one ever wants or downloads (seasons of 'Deadwood,' 'Game of Thrones,') stuff like that. Download doesn't start.
Hi,
Make another account with your same password - set it to ADMIN Level - REBOOT (do not just logoff) and
logon to that account - can you download using it? (make two ADMIN accounts - one in case you have to
migrate to it and another to test and fix).
While in the new account use it to LOWER your regular account APPLY / OK as needed - and then raise it
back to ADMIN - repeat a few times - lower - raise - go back in lower - raise - repeat. This helps to clear
corruption. Make sure you leave the account as Admin.
Try your downloads in the new account. If the downloads work in the new account then either the old
account needs to be fixed, if possible, or it can be migrated to the new account.
If needed later this is the process to fix a corrupted account or migrate to a new one.

Then reset IE
How to reset Internet Explorer settings

Start - All Programs - Accessores - System Tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Tab - click Restore Advanced Settings and then click RESET - APPLY / OK
IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security Tab - click Reset all zones - APPLY / OK
Close and restart IE and/or IE with no addons
Start - All Programs - Accessores - System Tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?
IE - Tools - Manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, this is no longer needed but Java
still installs it and it causes issues - you ever update Java go back in and disable it again.) Look
for other possible problems.
Windows Defender - Tools - Software Explorer - look for issues with programs that do not look
right. Permitted are usually OK and 'not permitted' are not always bad. If in doubt about a
program ask about it here.
Could be a BHO - SpyBHOremover - Free - standalone program, needs no install, download and
run - not all are bad however some can cause your issue. (Toolbars are BHO's)

Hopefully your downloads now work in the old account and if not see the link above on how to fix
or migrate to a new account.
Hope this helps.
My job requires me to play a lot of games, and part of “playing a lot of games” is “downloading an astronomical amount of game data every month.”
So today's about the most annoying thing I can think of: Steam's download servers appear to be having issues. I don't know how widespread or for how long, but there's somethingweirdgoingon.
Basically, the downloads get stuck in a pause-unpause loop, where no data is ever downloaded. The downloads just keep starting and stopping. I had my Tesla Effect download sitting at 13.5GB, and then it refused to budge.
Luckily, there are some things you can try. First of all, try adding more games to the download queue. I won't pretend to know Valve's server infrastructure, but according to a few forum posts you can trick the service into downloading the rest of the game by adding more games to the backlog. One user recommends adding a free game like Dota 2 or Team Fortress 2 to your queue if you don't own a second game on your account.
The other, more commonly-suggested fix is to swap your Steam Region. As far as anyone can tell, it's only some of the servers in the United States having problems currently. If you go under the Steam menu to Settings, then Download settings, you should be able to switch to a more exotic locale. For instance, I am currently downloading the rest of Tesla Effect from Sweden.
And that's it. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon, but until then you might as well give these temporary fixes a shot. Best of luck.
