The other day I tried to update Overwatch as I had not done so in a while but my game would not update at all. So I decided to uninstall Battle.net and reinstall it to see if that would work. Well at this point in time I can’t seem to get the installation screen past 1% no matter what I do. I feel like I’ve tried everything to fix this but for some reason it will not download. I need some help.

Same problem. I’m trying to install battlenet app, but it keeps getting stuck “downloading files” at the same point each time. I can leave it running for hours with no improvement, or any sign of activity at all.
I finally decide that enough improvement has been made in working conditions at Blizzard to go back to WoW and Diablo, but I’ve been hit with this bug. Tried; cycling router, cycling broadband connector, clearing out any and all files with blizzard or battle.net, creating a new admin account, specially giving permission to my bog-standard windows 10 firewall, briefly switching off my anti-virus (bog standard windows defender again), turning windows firewall off. None of this worked.
I have no trouble downloading games from Steam or Origin, so I really don’t think the problem is at my end.
Ah, well. At least I can download Final Fantasy sucessfully.

• Try rebooting with Selective Startup:
This can be used to close out background processes and non-Microsoft services that could be interfering with the connection or the game client.
- Press Windows Key+R.
- Type msconfig and press Enter.
- Select Selective startup and uncheck Load startup items.
- Select the Services tab.
- Check Hide all Microsoft services.
Note: Skipping this step may prevent your computer from rebooting correctly. - Click Disable all.
- Click Apply then click OK.
- Click Restart.
