Getting those sleek black bars in CS:GO on Windows 10 is a throwback vibe, but here's how to pull it off: right-click on your desktop and navigate to NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings, depending on your graphics card. Then, look for 'Adjust desktop size and position' under Display for NVIDIA or 'Display' for AMD. Select 'Aspect ratio' and make sure to check 'Perform scaling on:' GPU, then apply. This should give your game the black bars on the sides when you set your CS:GO resolution to a 4:3 aspect ratio via the in-game settings. Remember to play around with the settings till you get the perfect balance for your gameplay!

I switched to black bars and suddenly felt like I was back in the days. Honestly, it's all about the feel, and if you think it gives you better focus, go for it. The steps mentioned above worked like a charm for me. Just don't forget to adjust your actual game resolution in CS:GO settings too!
