Getting rid of those annoying black bars in CS:GO on Windows 11 is actually pretty simple! First, right-click on your desktop and select 'Display settings'. Scroll down and click on 'Graphics settings'. Here, browse and add csgo.exe from your CS:GO installation folder. Once added, click on the game in the list and select 'Options'. Choose 'High performance' and boom, you're set. This should optimize CS:GO to use your GPU's full potential and get rid of black bars by scaling properly to your screen's aspect ratio. Another trick is to check your graphics card's control panel (Nvidia or AMD) and look for a scaling or aspect ratio option, setting it to 'Full Screen' might just do the trick!

Honestly, I just learned to love the black bars. Gives it a cinematic feel, you know? Maybe it's not such a bad thing.

Just change your in-game resolution. Most times, black bars appear because your game's resolution doesn't match your monitor's aspect ratio. Go to CS:GO settings, then Video Settings, and play around with the Aspect Ratio and Resolution until you find one that fills your screen. Easy fix!
