    You have to be kidding with your recommendations, being a Microsoft Engineer. 

    I tried all of your suggestions before I wised up and with a lot of difficulty finally got to talk with a Microsoft Employee in Microsoft's gaming area, who told me that The Age of Empires II is not supported by Microsoft in Windows 10.

    Why do you at Microsoft keep avoiding this issue.  Oh, I know, you are trying to jam Windows 10 down peoples throat!!!

    Yes, but you have to go back to 8.1 within the 30 day window, otherwise, you will have to restore you system back to how it came out of the box, and reinstall all your software.
