If CS:GO isn't launching, first check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements. CS:GO isn't too demanding, but it's still worth a check. Next, try verifying the integrity of game files on Steam: Right-click CS:GO in your library > Properties > Local Files tab > Verify integrity of game files. Sometimes files get corrupted and this can fix it. Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of launch issues.

Just restart your computer. Sounds silly, but you'd be surprised how often turning it off and on again works like a charm for launching issues with CS:GO.

Honestly, it might be a sign. Take a break, go outside, or perhaps it's time to explore new games. When CS:GO doesn't launch, the universe might be telling you something.

Another thing, make sure your antivirus isn't blocking CS:GO. Some antivirus software accidentally flags CS:GO as a threat. Adding an exception for CS:GO in your antivirus settings might just solve your problem.
