Most of the time, CS:GO launch problems can be fixed by verifying the game files through Steam. Just right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to Properties -> Local Files tab, and then click on 'Verify integrity of game files'. Steam will check and fix any missing or corrupted files. Another trick is to make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of chaos.

Disable any background apps that are not necessary before launching CS:GO. Sometimes, these can interfere with the game. Also, try running Steam as an administrator; it can help with permission issues that prevent the game from launching properly.

Honestly, just restart your computer. It sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how often it works when nothing else does.

Just reinstall the game, bro. Fixes 99% of problems.
