I installed a game yesterday and had to uninstall it because it would just not work. I tried everything. Frist, it would say I had to be an administrator for it to run, so I ran it as an administrator, but then it just wouldn't start. So, I ran the technical compatibility troubleshoot and tried every setting they recommended and it won't start or open at all. It doesn't even try to start. The run as administrator permission box opens and I click ok and then nothing happens. It still won't work. Any fixes for this? It worked before on windows 7 and then I upgraded to windows 10 and now nothing.

2015-08-21T03:28:58+00:00 I should add that the games I'm having problems with DO NOT have any kind of DRM. I know that SecuRom and some others are being blocked by Windows 10. This is not the case with the games I have that will not launch.
