I just installed Windows 10. I was using Windows 8.1. I've run Halo Combat Evolved on 8.1. Now, when I try to start Halo in 10 nothing happens, no messages or anything. I've updated my display driver to the latest, still nothing. I also have Halo 2 and that works fine. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    Hello,

    Thank you for your response.

    I appreciate your time.

    This may happen due to software conflicts.

    I would suggest you to perform clean boot and check if it helps.

    Refer:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

    (Also holds good for Windows 10)

    Clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program.

    Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps from section “How to reset the computer to start as usual after clean boot troubleshooting” to reset the computer to start as usual.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

    I need help

    I own a physical copy of the game Halo: Combat Evolved and it ran fine with Windows 8

    however, It refused to work after upgrading to Windows 10, "Please login with administrator privileges and try again"

    Now I tried Restarting, Reinstalling, and following your advice on switching compatibility and nothing work.

    Am I just out of luck for life, or will Microsoft ever plan on patching this in the near future?

    I downloaded a patch from Bungie from 2014, and now Halo Combat Evolved works on my Windows 10 computer
