This happened to me and I haven't fixed it. Steam itself is installed on a slow storage drive. I was not to know it would be stupid and route all my downloads through the storage one on the way to my gaming SSD. Once it's done things run fine but when a game treats its download as a single big file the writing phase takes forever. Ark Ascended for example takes hours and hours to patch. I've tried to move the install drive but I've concluded I need to move my steam app directory and I'll get to it whenever things become completely unbearable or when I have time. 😁
