    I absolutely agree with comment regard the inefficiencies in windoze10

    I recently was forced (no longer a choice)to update  and it has totally stuffed up my operating system to the point that I cannot delete the update or have access to the security tolls in the window$ system.

    What was initially a supposedly free system is now going to cost money.

    This is a totally BS con trick.

    Windows 10 is Bullsh*t, insufficient , unstable, and unworldly.

    Linux and Apple are far better alternatives in my view and have become better as time goes on!

    Microsoft developers have only shown they are masters of the inadequate and backwards (really someone thought windows 8 was good enough for the market place?) Windows 10 is the apology for windows 8 that was never acceptable.

    It's simple. Go to windows features, disable .net framework 4.6 and hit apply. Then, under Legacy Components, enable Direct Play and hit apply. Re-enable .net framework 4.6. Hit apply. Done

    Do not know if this is still a problem, but what worked for me was opening the game as administrator and then DirectPlay installed with no problems.

    Never mind! I just had to disable or remove my antivirus software to make the change. Thankyou!
