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.

Microsoft,
Are you going to fix the game capatability issues or do I have to go to Linux?
Horrible move tech demons!!!!!!
Many of us are feeling your pain... unfortunately Microsoft doesn't care. Maybe go to Amazon and grab a copy of WIndows 8.1 for $80.
This was a great explanation! Sadly none of it helped.
I tried following the steps for stopping the Win10 DRM blocking but the secdrv doesn't exists on this computer. :/ I am past the 30 days to go back to Win8.1. I have also tried running as administrator, but no. Also tried reinstalling the game and a compatibility check, still no. All I want to do is play my FFXIV. This is also effecting Origins and even Chrome!
I have never wanted an Apple computer until today. Of course I don't have the money to pay for a new computer so I am stuck with this.
Best description of the Windows 10 and gaming issues ever! I can verify that Vampire the Masquerade, Bloodlines will not launch on Windows 10. What's frustrating is that the games install perfectly and then... nothing. Why are we not hearing an uproar from gamers about this? Yes, I know I can run the games on an older machine, but why is the decision being made FOR ME that I have to throw out hundreds of dollars worth of games?????
