How to run Steam games as admin
Actually, it's better to run Steam itself as an admin. Just right-click the Steam shortcut, go to 'Properties', head to 'Compatibility', and check 'Run this program as an administrator'. This way, all your games inherit admin rights by default. Saves you the hassle of doing it for each game.

Nah, running games as admin is overrated. Just make sure your Steam is up to date and most games will run fine without extra permissions.
Running Steam games as admin is a piece of cake! Right-click on the game in your Steam library, click 'Properties', then 'Local files', and finally 'Browse'. Find the game's executable file (.exe), right-click it, choose 'Properties', hop over to the 'Compatibility' tab, and check 'Run this program as an administrator'. Hit 'OK', and boom, you're the admin now!
