I recently purchased a custom built pc packed with windows 8.1 which I upgraded to Windows 10.

I installed Age of Mythology yesterday and when I try to run the game nothing happens. I have tried all compatibility suggestions and I get the same result.

I also have this same problem with black and white 2.

I have a NVIDIA Geforce gtx 980 graphics card installed in my pc.

Can you provide any suggestions please.

Thank you.

    Come on Microsoft!, you are keen to get people onto Windows 10, at least help those that have gone along with you and not migrated to another O S.

    Unless this is sorted a lot of people will be rolling back or changing O S, your choice of course but can you afford to loose out to Apple, Android, etcetra?.

    I had the same problem with this game. I used no CD crack. It is not right but why i can not play game i have bought.

    Interesting solution. I am wary about downloading such cracks in case of malware etc. - especially as there are children using the devices.

    And why should I have to?

    Would be really good for someone from Microsoft to update us on the issue.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family.

    From the description provided, I understand that you are unable to launch the game.

    I would suggest you to disable all non-Microsoft services and not necessary startup apps and see if any third party applications are arising the issue. Please follow the below steps.

    1. To disable all non-Microsoft services consult the article called Clean Boot. 

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

    Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"

    Disclaimer: A 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 in Windows. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot. You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or experience the original behavior if the problem still exists. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps.

    1. To disable any 3^rd^ party unwanted startup programs in Windows 8 and above, follow: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20119.how-to-enable-or-disable-startup-programs-in-windows-8.aspx 

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Additionally, I would also suggest you to check for the compatibility of the game for Windows 10 from the below referred link.

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home

    Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue. If it still persists, we would be glad to assist you further.

    Thank You.
