Age of empires II won't work via windows 10

Looks good, under $20, will download tomorrow night.

Its vey much similar but has different short cuts

Although that isn't terribly expensive. I already purchased two copies of both Age of Empires Gold Edition with the Age of Kings original and the Conquerors Expansion and have enjoyed them for a long time. Seeing as they did work on Windows 10 prior to ~9926 build then I see no reason that I should have to re-purchase my game to continue to enjoy playing this classic game. This is a bug and needs a fix.

Another thing.... Is Microsoft having internal issues as Windows 10 doesn't even recognize Microsoft as the publisher of the game?

If I wanted HD graphics, new shortcuts, different campaigns, and a steam/network locked version I'd pay for the new game. But I just want to play the classic I have owned for years.

Yeah, i paid for the new "HD" version and it sucks. Graphics are great, but the game-play is terrible by comparison to the original. I feel ripped off.

I got the XBOX version from the Win 10 store and it seems to ignore mouse commands. I have an XBOX controller installed and it recognizes the XBOX button but nothing else. It goes to the selection screen where you choose King, Sultan, or the other one and then stalls and won't do anything.

I've never played it before so I really don't care. I have better things to do.

Microsoft surely knows about this problem for windows 10, but you will not find any help from them on their web site.  At least, I can't find anything regarding this issue.  Big mistake going to windows 10, none of your Microsoft older games will probably not work on windows 10.  I'll have to restore my system back to factory settings for windows 8, since I am past the 30 day period to go back to windows 8.1.
