Running Steam as admin is super easy! Just right-click the Steam shortcut on your desktop, and then click 'Run as administrator'. If you don’t see the option, right-click, go to Properties, head to the Compatibility tab, and check 'Run this program as an administrator'. Hit OK, and you’re good to go!
