Directplay on Windows 10

oliver needs it for Minecraft and GTA san andreas

1.  hold windows key and type R wait for the window titled "run" to come up.

2. type this in: "C:\Windows\System32\control.exe" <copy/cut n paste works too (if you click and hold and move the mouse on this page you'll notice it'll turn blue  put text before this in blue right click and click copy then use windows key + R to bring the window up and press CTRL + V to paste or right click the box to insert text and click paste) 
3. hit enter or click ok also make sure you have control panel in icon view not category if its in category simply click category and click large icons... It's a drop down then follow the instructions on previous post.

Here's another one: The option in control panel doesn't activate. After restart DirectPlay is deactivated. Nice work Microsoft. All my old games I love became useless. Also all the updates from December don't install. Everything asks for a restart and after restart we are back to square one. The people hired to do a job are becoming dumber and dumber.

It stays on with my box so you may have a deeper problem

easier to refresh windows and carry on

thank you for your response to this question. i understand that there are obsolete components, but i am trying to play a game that i really like. this game requires directplay to run. is there a way around this?
