Directplay on Windows 10

Glad I could help, though it would be a lot better if the solution would've been much easier. :) Enjoy your old beautiful games. :)

******type the following into your windows search bar at the bottom left corner of the screen next to the start/windows icon:

"windows features" - turn on/off

open windows features.

scan the list for "legacy features"

open the expand (+) button to reveal "directplay"

check the box for "directplay"

allow windows to search for the required files and make changes

*enjoy playing antique games again*

----also you can visit this link to the person on youtube who showed me theses steps to like his video and find more helpful computer tips.----

We both did this (me and the person asking this several posts above). :) There were others suggesting this (and of course, this is the way to have DIrectplay on window 10). The problem was that after the restart needed to complete the activation of Directplay the option was again disabled. There was a loop of errors. Directplay needed windows to restart and the restart deactivated Directplay. For me, only the reinstall worked. ;)

When i manually check the box of Directplay, it asksk me to restart my computer.

when i do so, it reboots normally. However when my computer is turned back on directplay is deactivated again and i have to do it again, i can't get it to work.
