2021-03-11T12:05:21+00:00 Have you followed the instructions and have you also tried Windows XP compatibility mode? This workaround is from RockStar Games themselves for their game so i would be surprised if it doesn't work.
You need to make the changes and then go back to the Rockstar Game Launcher and try launching the game again.
However, I would reboot your computer after making the changes and then try launching the game
Let me know how you get on.

Sorry you're having this problem launching GTA San Andreas.
There is a fix for this issue if you follow these instructions:

Close the game
Select Settings in the Rockstar Games Launcher
Select Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from My installed games
Select Open next to View installation folder
Right-click on "gta_sa.exe" in the folder that opens and select "Properties"
On the Compatibility tab under Compatibility Mode select Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose either Window 7 or Windows XP from the drop-down selection. (Tip - I would try Windows 7 first)
Click Apply
Click OK
Return to the Rockstar Games Launcher and restart the game.

Kindest regards,
