Windows 10: Can I install software while others are running?

It's an "old newbie" question I have, because back in Windows 3.1 days and since I saw hundreds of warnings about "closing all running programs before" installing.

FYI a place where I worked for 20+ years had IT guys who installed stuff with others running all the time. And I've seen tons of Windows problems there, maybe because of that. At home I never installed anything that way and had much less problems.

But today I wonder if Windows has evolved enough to allow installing stuff that way without causing serious problems.

Any thoughts? TIA.

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?

 

Install Diablo 3 on Linux

Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
