  4. Black screen when tabbing in and out of games in latest version of windows 10

    Games keep crashing on Windows 10.

    Hi,

    I would like to inform that the games which were working in previous Operating System may or may not work in Windows 10 due to compatibility issues. I suggest you to check for the latest version of the games which are not working, check compatibility
    with Windows 10 and install. If the latest version is not available or if the games are not compatible, suggest you to install the games in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below:


    • Download the setup files for the game nd save it on your local disk.

    • Right click on the setup file of the game and select
      “Properties”.

    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    • Let the game install and then check thefunctionality.
    Let us know the status of the issue.

    Regards,
