Fixed.I recently built a new PC and upon installing Steam, I have always had this problem where the download would stop randomly at certain points.
Just yesterday, it has progressively gotten worse. If I manually click resume to start the download, it instantly pauses the download.
(Hidden cursor is clicking the resume button.)
I have tried several solutions to fix the problem but none have come out successful:
UPDATE: Apparently my Steam is running in Compatibility mode when compatibility is not even enabled.
I can not find a fix on this, if anyone knows a solution please let me know.

I have tried several solutions to fix the problem but none have come out successful:
- Changed download region.
- Limited my download bandwith.
- Uninstalled steam three times.
- Ran Steam as administrator.
- Deleted everything in the Steam folder except for the Steam.exe and the steamapps folder, and updated Steam.
- Restarted Steam several times.
- Error-checked my Hard Drive for any problems.
- Ran a diagnostic on my RAM memory for any problems.
- Scanned for any viruses that may be interfering.
- Checked background processes that may interfere with Steam downloads.
- Checked my Firewall settings and other Antimalware/virus exceptions.
- Did "ipconfig /release; ipconfig /renew."
- Flushed DNS
- Deleted everything in my Downloading folder.
- Instead of clicking resume, I clicked "Play" and let the installation run.
- Moved my entire Steam folder outside of Program Files (x86) and into drive C:.
- Ran Steam through Sandboxie.
- Updated all Network drivers.
- Set Steam to Low/High Priority
UPDATE: Apparently my Steam is running in Compatibility mode when compatibility is not even enabled.

Solutions I have tried to fix this:
- Checked regedit to see if the Compatibility was hidden in the Layers folder.
- Checked the properties of both Steam.exe and Steamwebhelper.exe.
