Windows 10: Can't run Compatibility Troubleshooter - why is that?

Hey all -

Tried running the Compatibility Troubleshooter in W10 Pro but it doesn't work?
Many possible solutions but I thought to check here before testing them.

See -





and then...





It applies to most any .EXE -

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Program Compatibility Troubleshooter / related

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

I suggest you to install game in Compatibility mode and check if it works.
If there no updated games version available on the games manufacturer’s website,
then try installing it in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Download the Game from the manufacturer’s website.
• Right-click on the Game setup file and click on
  ‘Properties’.
• Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1/7
  operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

Please post back with the results and the information asked, we will be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.
