How to run a game on Steam as an administrator? (Grand Theft Auto 5)

I need to run GTA 5 in steam from the admin, on GTAV_Launcher.exe I set it to run on behalf of the admin, but when I run it from the admin, Steam starts again from the admin, not GTA! How to solve this problem? PS OS: Windows 10.

and why the hell are you launching the launcher? set the parameter "run this program as administrator" in the properties of the application and that's it, you don't need to touch the executable anymore

In theory, it's enough to start Steam itself as an administrator, and then all other games (that will be launched through it) will automatically start with administrator rights without any questions

only in the launcher executable set the parameter. Steam will launch it with the parameter you set.
although you can still try

GTAV.exe also set admin rights.
