Why does CS:GO not launch?

Ah, the classic 'CS:GO won't start' saga. There are a few usual suspects to check first: Make sure your game files are all in order by verifying the integrity of game files in Steam. Sometimes, a rogue file decides it's had enough. Then, check if your graphics drivers are up to date because they can throw a tantrum if they're feeling neglected. Lastly, don’t overlook your anti-virus or firewall – they might be overly protective and blocking CS:GO. Give those a look and you might just solve the mystery.

Quick tip: Try running CS:GO as an administrator. Right-click the game in Steam, go to Properties > Local Files > Browse, find the CS:GO exe, right-click, Properties, Compatibility, and tick 'Run this program as an administrator'. Sometimes, it just wants a bit of extra privilege to strut its stuff.

Disable all your mods and custom content. CS:GO can be picky and doesn't play well with uninvited guests.

Honestly, sometimes it just doesn't want to. But seriously, it might be something as simple as needing a system reboot. Turn your computer off and on again. It's not just an IT cliché; it works wonders.
