Error - Missing File Privileges

[Sam_Destroyer]

Have many hours on this game without any issues. It was a while back through time though and I believe I had windows 7 back then but can't remember for sure. Anyway now I have windows 10 and I downloaded this game again. I get an error saying missing file privileges. Before that there was an other error that said content locked or something but swapped places with this new one when I ran steam as administrator. I tried many things such as Turning off my antivirus, restarting my computer, repairing my library folder, updated windows 10 and checking the game file integrity which by the way when doing that, steam only checks one file and proudly ends it there saying everything is in spec.

So can people help me out with this issue? I have seen that this proplem is not so uncommon but sadly, roles are switch when it comes to solutions...

If you had a bad day like many other people seem to have had in this help section, please don't just tell me to read the pinned thread, I have

If I find this out tonight I'll drunk myself to the vomit point for ya <3

I tried the first method and it does not work because I can't even find any running program that is called igmfx or something like that.

Second method seems to have taken me back a few steps because I deleted the game on steam by clicking uninstall and that did absolutely nothing but gray out the name of the game. So I got in my steam games folder and deleted the whole Garry's Mod folder. Restarted steam and tried installing gmod. I get the exact same error message and now there is a Garry's mod folder back in my games folder but it contains a whole load of nothing at all.

And thrid method is what I am doing now I believe

Thanks for the help microsoft227sam!
