Windows 10: Can't open windows version game on computer

I purchased and downloaded the windows version of Cities:Skylines on my laptop. When I open it, it's the Xbox version. I know this, because when I CLICK on options and controls, it shows an Xbox controller and what those buttons do. Also, the menu doesn't have all of the options that the computer versions have like Content Manager and Editors. And the screen layout is different. How do I open the computer game on the computer?

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

Windows Update 1709, Computer running slower and screen stuttering/fps drop in games on fullscreen.

Have you tried enabling Game Mode? if not, we suggest that you enable it and check the results. Here are the steps:

Enable/Disable Game mode by default:

• Open the Settings menu.
• Click on Gaming
• Choose Game Mode
• Toggle Use Game Mode

Enable Game Mode on a per-game basis:

• While inside your game, press Windows key + G to open the
  Game Bar.
• This will release you cursor and enable you to click on the cogwheel.
• Select Enable Game Mode.

If the issue persist, go to the
Microsoft Update Catalog to search and download the Windows 10 Version 1703 ISO file. Afterwards, use the
Media Creation tool to create an installation image using the version of Windows that you downloaded.

Note: Once you have installed Windows 10 Version 1703, we suggest that you setup a metered connection so that you will not be updated to Windows 10 Version 1709.

Regards.
