Just reinstall CS:GO, honestly. It's the nuclear option, but it's almost guaranteed to work. Just make sure to backup your settings and configs!

I had this error last month, and after trying everything, verifying the game files through Steam worked for me. It might take a few minutes, but it's worth the wait.
