Which game are you having trouble with? If you mean a game such as ManPula, it would be helpful to know the exact version of the game and what happens when you try to run it on Windows 10.

Does the game fail to launch, show an error message, or crash after starting?

Also, was the same version working on an earlier version of Windows?

Does the game developer support your game on Windows 10? If the developer supports your game on Windows 10, you can contact the developer directly for help.

If the developer doesn't support your game on Windows 10, no one can guarantee that the game will work properly (or at all) on Windows 10.

A game that worked on a previous Windows version but not on Windows 10 is usually hitting a compatibility issue. Use these steps in order:

Check for an updated version of the game
- If the game was installed from Microsoft Store, open Microsoft Store → Library → Get updates and install any available updates. For details, see Get updates for apps and games in Microsoft Store.
- If it was installed from outside Microsoft Store, go to the publisher’s website and look for a Windows 10–compatible or updated version.
Run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter
- Select Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
- Find Program Compatibility Troubleshooter and select Run.
- Choose the game’s executable and follow the on‑screen instructions.
(On some builds: Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Program Compatibility Troubleshooter > Run the troubleshooter.)
If the game launches but behaves badly (flickering, freezing, glitches)
- After running the troubleshooter, update device drivers (especially graphics) via Windows Update as described in how to update drivers.
If the game is from Microsoft Store and still will not work
- Sign in with the correct Microsoft account, then follow the Store app repair steps in Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store:
  - Close and reopen the game.
  - Make sure Windows 10 is fully updated.
  - Update Microsoft Store itself.
  - If needed, repair or reset the game via Settings > Apps > Apps & features.

If none of these steps help and the publisher does not offer a Windows 10–compatible build, the game may not be supported on Windows 10.
