How do I run Steam games as Admin?
I am having consistent crashing issues with XCOM2. Reinstalling did help - for about two hours before giving me the same crash it did before. I have one more thing to try (and boy I did everything googling allowed me to do), I've yet to run it as admin but it's strange. The shortcut on my desktop does not give me a "run as" option when I right click it.
Google gives me instructions about going to properties and local files and then 'checking' a box that allows to run in admin. Problem is, that doesn't exist.

Anyone have some insight?

%steam%\steamapps\common\%game%\%game%.exe - right click - compatibility tab
run as Administrator \ compat with %OS version%
\ scaling by app \ disable full screen optimisation - for W8-10

Go to the Steam installation folder, right click the Steam.exe and under the "compability" tab set it to "run as administrator".

I don't need to run Steam itSELF as admin, I need to run a game as admin.

I can't find XCOM2's lanching exe in its folder. And there's a lot.
