Just right-click and select 'Run as administrator'. But honestly, running games as admin shouldn't be necessary unless you're troubleshooting. Valve's got CS:GO pretty well optimized for most systems, so if you're having issues, might wanna check your drivers or game files integrity through Steam first!

Running CS:GO as admin is super easy! Right-click on the CS:GO icon on your desktop or in your Steam library, then just hit 'Run as administrator'. This gives the game extra privileges that can sometimes help with performance or compatibility issues, especially if you're tweaking settings or using mods.

Why even run it as admin? CS:GO is smooth without needing extra permissions. If you're hitting snags, look into other solutions first. Running games as admin could be overkill and not always the fix you think it is.
