Edwardvaughn_4 0 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hello friends. I have been suffering from an issue with my Steam. After installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus, “Steam is showing missing file privileges” error. For which I can't install any game on Steam. Guys, I don’t know why this is happening and how to fix this issue. Can anyone provide any suggestions? It will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,791 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I couldn't find anything that states this issue could be related to anti-virus solutions. -EDIT- Correction. I did find a thread stating issues with Webroot: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1291817837623597768/. Appears Eset in the past has blocked Steam connections: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1735465524697066766/#c1735465524697098660 , but this instance doesn't appear to be related to a "missing file permissions" issue. Here's a couple references on how to fix the missing file permissions issue: https://windowsreport.com/steam-error-missing-file-privileges/ https://www.get-itsolutions.com/fix-steam-missing-file-privileges-error/ Edited April 22, 2021 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
