You might be better off asking this question on the steam forums.

a 3 second google search suggests the following fixes.

 

1. Restart your computer
2. Run CSGO as administrator

everything runs as an admisters for me, and i have many times. 

 

I did google it, who else thinks to randomly close Ccleaner, I read steam forums that doing so has fixed it for some people.

 

i like to think people post on the forums when google and other options fail them in the first place. not to just post because they want to.

I didn't make a post becase I read about 5 about the same issue with no answers or the answers they gave did not resolve it for me.

I have had this a few times. I tried verifying game files, turning anti-virus off nothing worked.  

 

I'm sure in the end I reinstalled CS:GO and had no issues since. 

 

Like the  JaegerB said it will be worth check the Steam Forums for an up to date fix.

I'm sure I have read else where you should never set steam games/apps to  'Run as Administrator' because it F&^%'s with steam services.

Had the same issue a while ago. 

Reinstall CSGO and restart your PC.

VAC is pretty good. Maybe you cheated? Try using prime matchmaking only.

That’s not a VAC ban message...

[Master Disaster]

This is the third time I've seen users complaining of this exact message in the last 24 hours.

 

2 were TF2 and now 1 for CSGO?

 

Me thinks Valve might have broken something or changed something in VAC?

Like I said in my most I have reinstalled cs go. 

 

i've also closed various random programs running in task manager to see if any where the issue and I had no luck.

On a related note, perhaps Valve is having issues with the Meltdown update. Epic Games has troubles with sign-ins as well at the moment.

[Qi_Forever]

Blame it on Meltdown Fix/ windows update.

 

Several members had issues with Asus AI suite, yesterday.

 

Personally I have an issues with GPU tweak 2 and Google Chrome clinching out when moving a window from one monitor to the another.

Enterprise / Servers get security updates ASAP.
