Right-click the game in your Steam library and select 'Properties'. Then go to the 'LOCAL FILES' tab and click 'BROWSE LOCAL FILES'. Find the game's exe file, right-click it, go to 'Properties', navigate to the 'Compatibility' tab, and check 'Run this program as an administrator'. Hit 'Apply', then 'OK', and you're all set!

Honestly, running games as admin can cause more trouble than it's worth. Watch out for quirky bugs and save issues, especially with older games!

Just set Steam to run as administrator, and every game you launch from it will do the same. Right-click your Steam shortcut or exe, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check 'Run this program as administrator'. Remember, doing this might cause issues with some Steam games that don't play nice with admin rights.
