I agree this makes the troubleshoot compatibility feature less useful I understand its obsolete but still it was once a feature and gamers(some of us) like old games as well as new ones don't turn into what I hate which is a company that won't support old things just because the "new thing" is out. I dont like sony as much because they did away with backwards compatibility Microsoft obviously Never care except for "certain games" its annoying as hell. Still I'm glad the feature is there it just sucks you made it more difficult to get to.

- press windows key + r
- Then type: control
- hit enter
then follow instructions above others posted.
