Gameroom not working on Windows 10 after Update

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that it can be frustrating when the game doesn’t work the way they are supposed to. For further clarity on the issue and to guide you accordingly, respond to the questions listed below.

1. What is the exact error code/error message you have received while trying to launch the game?
   
2. Are you aware of any recent change on the device prior to this issue?
   
3. Which update was installed on your device?
   

However, you may try the below suggested step and check if the issue still persists with the game.

1. Right click on an app/game and select Properties. You can do this from the app's shortcut or by navigating in File Browser to the EXE file.
   
2. Select the Compatibility tab, then
   uncheck the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for".
   
3. Hit Apply, then run your app and see if this fixed your issue.
   

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the game and re-install from the
Gameroom website.

Hope it helps.

Windows 10 Update causing Facebook Gameroom problems.

Hi NightStalker73a,



Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community

1. May I know the updates that is installed?
   
2. Have you made any changes on your computer, prior to the issue?
   
3. May I know if it has worked before?
   

I would suggest you to check and confirm if the Facebookgame room app, is compatible on your system and with Windows 10. However, I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it works out for you.



Step 1: Program Compatibility Troubleshooter

I suggest you to follow the article to
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows.





I would suggest you to check this thread on
Facebook Gameroom, from Riel Alc created on September 27, 2017, and
see if it helps.



Hope it helps.

 

Facebook Gameroom

I tried what you suggested. Here is the situation as it stands now: On File Explorer I had a couple of FacebookGameroom.exe files and I right clicked one of them, selected TROUBLESHOOT COMPATIBILITY and ran it using the settings for Windows 8 (no, Win 10
wasn't on the list of OSs). Up popped a windows showing it was installing. When that was finished I brought up the start menu and there was the program. The big problem was that, on clicking, it did not open. I then right clicked the entry, selected RUN
AS ADMINISTRATOR, nothing doing either. On a hunch, I opened CONTROL PANEL, selected PROGRAMS & FEATURES and surprise, Facebook Gameroom wasn't on the list!! ???: Why would Facebook Gameroom have shown up on the START MENU but be missing on the program list,
when it was there before all this started happening? What other options are there?
