    Tab key doesn't 'tab' in MS Paint Text Box anymore - is there a fix?

    In the search box next to Start on the taskbar, type paint and then select Paint from the list of results.
    And you can select as where to add - it pin to start - pin to taskbar

    My PC games are not working anymore what a disaster!!!

    Hi Pierre,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

    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 and 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.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you first check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10 in Windows Compatibility Center and then install the game.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home



    I would also suggest you update your Graphics Card drivers.

    Kindly follow the below mentioned steps:

    • Press Windows key + R key to open run command. Type "devmgmt.msc" and click enter.
    • Expand Display Adapter
    • Right-click on the Graphics Card and select properties.
    • Go to the Driver Tab and click update.
    • Restart the computer and check.
    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,
