How to Run a Game on Steam as Administrator
To run a game as an administrator on Steam, first close Steam. Then, right-click on the Steam shortcut or executable and select 'Properties.' Go to the 'Compatibility' tab and check the box that says 'Run this program as an administrator,' then hit 'OK.' Now, whenever you launch Steam, it runs with admin privileges, and so do your games. Remember, you might need to do this for the game's executable itself in its installation folder for some games.

Just right-click the game's shortcut and hit 'Run as administrator.' If it's a shortcut to Steam, the whole client runs as admin, including your games. But yeah, not all games play nice this way, so tread carefully and only do it if you really need to.
Nah, you really shouldn't run games as admin unless you absolutely gotta. It's a security risk. Plus, Steam games are designed to work well without needing admin rights. If you're having issues, check the game's forums or support pages instead.
