    AOE3 the original on windows 10 today again no longer launches


    Its amazing that before the update to the latest version of win 10 i played the game without issues.

    Today 25-10-2020 i wanted to continue where i left off.

    Guess what again the dreaded can't install the game, which has haunted this game several times during its lifetime is back.

    I hate the newly released so called improved version but for me its the biggest fail ever.

    M$ shows not being able to understand that you do not want to play a game with cheats but it seems they think that cheating is needed to play games.

    The people i see playing this new versions all use game hacks and cheats to complete it, ofcourse they never admit it in the open. But non of them could show me they could play the game without.

    So i am kinda angry that again the game is screwed up again, just because you got a version change.

    Its again and again taking insane long before M$ solves any issues or sometimes even NEVER solves them.

    For now one of my favorite games is killed AGAIN.

    I bet nobody is able to help nor M$ will give an answer at all, but time will tell.

    :)

  2. Origin will not load

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.



    1. Which was the update that was installed prior to this issue?
    2. What is the version of your Windows 10 computer? (To check the version of your Windows 10, you can refer
      See which version of Windows 10 you have).
    3. Do you get any error message while launching the Origin application?
    4. What was the error message that you got while reinstalling the Origin application?
    5. Are you facing this issue with any other applications?


    Meanwhile, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you are able to launch Origin application.



    1. Follow the steps mentioned in Uninstalling Origin Application
      and completely uninstall Origin from your computer.
    2. Then, put your computer in a Clean Boot State
      and delete the folders from the following locations.


    • Note: A Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Your computer may temporarily lose
      some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.


    • C:\ProgramData\Origin\
    • C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Origin\
    • C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Origin\
    • C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License\


    1. Then, Download Origin and install it with the computer being in a Clean Boot
      State.
    2. Then, place the computer to normal boot by going to
      Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
      section in the Clean Boot link and check if you are able to launch the Origin application.


    Write to us with the updated results and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
