There could be a few reasons why CS:GO isn't launching. First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for the game. Sometimes, outdated graphics drivers can also cause issues, so make sure they're up to date. Another common culprit could be corrupted game files, so try verifying the integrity of game files through Steam. Lastly, make sure your antivirus or firewall isn't mistakenly blocking the game.

Just restart your computer. Classic fix but sometimes it's all you need.

Try running Steam as admin! Right-click on Steam, select 'Run as administrator', and then launch CS:GO. Worked like a charm for me when I had the same problem.

Is your game updated? CS:GO won't launch if there's a pending update. Always keep your game updated!

Honestly, just reinstall CS:GO. If nothing else works, a fresh install might do the trick. Takes some time, but it's worth a shot.
