The game doesn’t update, and players can’t launch Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Does that error message sound familiar? If so, some of the resolutions below might fix it.
How can I fix Counter-Strike update errors?
1. Select an alternative download region
2. Clear Steam’s Download Cache
Steam includes a Clear Download Cache option that can fix download issues or games that don’t start. So, that option might come in handy for fixing the An error occurred while updating counter strike global offensive (invalid app configuration) error.
3. Run Steam as Administrator
4. Turn off the Windows firewall
Some Steam users have stated that turning off the Windows Defender Firewall fixed the An error occurred while updating Counter-Strike error for them. So, the error message is often due to the firewall blocking Steam. Users can turn off the firewall in Windows 10.
5. Turn off third-party antivirus software
The An error occurred while updating Counter-Strike error can also be due to third-party antivirus software, which include firewalls. Steam users have fixed the issue by uninstalling antivirus utilities. At the very least, some players might need to disable their antivirus software by right-clicking the utilities system tray icons and selecting a disable or turn off setting. If that isn’t enough, try clean booting Windows. That will remove third-party antivirus utilities, and other software, from the startup.
6. Delete the Appcache folder
Those are a few of the resolutions that have fixed the An error occurred while updating Counter-Strike for most Steam users. You can also set up a Steam Support account to send a support ticket. We’d like to hear more from you on this subject, so drop us a comment in the comment section below.
