Battle Net is not installed on Windows 10. Check the "Secondary Login" service

When Battle.net does not install games, it obviously indicates that something is wrong with the software from Blizzard, or something is wrong on your computer. For the most part, Battle.net rely on the program called Agent, which serves for the goals of the download / update of the installed games.

Unfortunately, many battle.net users report that this utility, i.e. Agent loses the ability to download any content from Battle.net services or install games. Because of this, Battle.net client simply loses its functionality, and you stay with a broken heart.

However, it is not worth worrying, since in this article guide we will tell you about how to "repair" Battle.net, the process of agent and force the client to download and install toys, as he, actually, and should do.

Method number 1 Restart your computer

Let's start, naturally, from the simplest action that you can perform - reboot the computer. This step is simply restarting the Agent process, which can correct the situation with its failure. Try to restart the system and maybe your Battle.net client can download and install games.

Method number 2 Transition to a wired Internet connection

We all know that the wireless connection to the network is quite unreliable and sometimes even unstable. Just such an unstable Internet connection and may stand for the inability of the Agent process to start downloading the desired content from the Battle.net servers. If you have access to a wired network connection, be sure to try to switch to it and check the problem. Often, many connectivity problems are solved in this way.

Method number 3 Turning off or removing all third-party protective utilities

Third party software or firewalls can enter the conflict with the Agent process, which leads to the impossibility of the last download and install games from Battle.net. If you think the problem is to conflict between the antivirus / Firewall and the Agent utility, then delete or disable it. As soon as you get rid of protective software, then try to download something in Battle.net.

Method number 4 Relevance of updates

In the absence of certain updates for your operating system, the situation in which Battle.NET does not install games could well arise. To check available updates and downloads, do the following:

  • Open "Start"
  • Go to "Settings".
  • Click "Update and Security" in the left pane.
  • Then click "Check for updates".
  • Wait for checking and ending installing updates, if any.
  • After installing updates, restart your computer.

Method number 5 Disconnect Addon to the game

Some addons to certain projects for some reason may interfere with the download and, as a result, Battle.net does not install games. For example, such often happens due to the fault of various managers for World of Warcraft. Try to turn off the addons for the downloadable game, since, perhaps, the reason was covered in them.

Method No. 6 Removing Agent and Forced Reinstalling through Battle.net

The damaged Agent can also stand for the reason that Battle.net does not install games. In this case, you need to turn off the application (or client) Battle.net, then delete the Tools folder in the Battle.net folder. Then run the client again and make it download the latest version of Agent.

Method number 7 Secondary entrance to the system

The secondary input service is incredibly necessary for both the Agent process and its launch. Accordingly, if this service has been disabled due to some external influences, then the agent will not work, and this leads to the inability of Battle.net to install games. It is possible to correct this by activating the secondary login service. To do this, do the following:

  • Click Win + R., Enter Services.msc. And press ENTER.
  • Find the "Secondary Login to System" in the list of services.
  • Set the startup type - automatically. "
  • Also make sure that the service is running at the moment. If it is suspended, then click on "Run".
  • Then click "Apply" and "OK".
  • Close the service window and restart your computer.

If the reason was exactly the fact that the "Secondary Login to System" service was disabled, then the above steps you definitely fix the situation.

Method number 8 Browser and Flash player update

To work Agent, and therefore for Battle.net, the latest versions of your browser and Adobe Flash player are required. Check what versions you possess. If this software requires updates, then update it, and then check the problem. It is possible that Battle.net does not install games precisely because you had outdated browser versions and Adobe Flash Player.

Why problems arise with the application

The developers themselves talk about several possible causes of errors. First of all, when changing the operating system, residual files in the registry can remain on the computer. When they are rewriting, the process sometimes gives failures, and Battle.net is not installed. The second logical explanation is incompatibility of technical data. This concerns those cases when too old laptops use long-standing versions of Windows. No less rarely, the installation fails occur with the long operation of the computer.
