How to Run Any Steam Game as Administrator (Fix Launch & Mod Issues Fast!)

Run Steam games as administrator to fix crashes, mods not working, or strange permission errors. If you’ve ever had a game refuse to launch on Steam, the solution could be as simple as enabling administrator rights. In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you exactly how to run any Steam game as an administrator on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Running games with admin privileges gives them access to protected system folders, which is often necessary when games need to save progress, load mods, or interact with certain hardware. Without admin rights, Steam games sometimes fail to launch, freeze, or keep showing frustrating errors. By following this tutorial, you’ll make sure your game has the permissions it needs to run smoothly.

📌 Why Run Steam Games as Administrator?
Fix games that won’t launch
Solve “Steam requires permission” errors
Allow mods to load correctly
Prevent crashes and freezes
Enable proper saving to system folders

🖥 Step-by-Step Tutorial
Open your Steam Library
Right-click your game → select Properties
Go to Installed Files → Browse
Locate the game’s .exe file
Right-click → Properties → Compatibility
Check Run this program as an administrator
Click Apply → OK
Restart Steam and enjoy smoother gameplay!

⚡ Extra Tips
Only enable administrator mode for games that need it (not every program).
Combine this fix with verifying game files for the best results.
Works on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
