Restarting the game usually does the trick. Sometimes, the console won't open because of a minor glitch. If that doesn't work, double-check your game settings to make sure the console is enabled. You can find this in the game settings under the keyboard/mouse options. Make sure to hit '`' (the key above Tab) to open it.

You might want to verify the game files through Steam. Right-click CS:GO in your Steam library, go to properties, then local files, and hit 'verify integrity of game files.' This can fix if something got messed up.

Just slap the '`' key harder, works every time. If not, maybe it's not enabled in your game settings, or your keyboard is set to a different language/layout.

Enabling the console in the game settings is step one. If it's already enabled and not working, your config file might be read-only. Right-click on config.cfg (located in your CS:GO folder, usually under Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg), go to properties, and uncheck 'Read-only.'
