My computer wont run games

Hi,

Compatibility issues with the device and the games, corrupted game's profile data and outdated version of the game are several reasons why you're encountering this issue. For us to point you to the best approach of resolving this issue, kindly answer the
following questions:

• Have you made any changes to your device before encountering this issue?
• What are the troubleshooting solutions you've performed?
• Are you trying to play the games online or offline?
• Are you using the physical copy or the digital version of the games? If you're using the digital version, may we know where did you download the games?

If you've downloaded the games from the Windows Store, we suggest running the Windows apps troubleshooter provided on this

link.

Another solution you may perform is to search if there are updates available for the games. See

Check for updates for apps and games from Windows Store for the steps.

Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

        Right-click on the game setup file and click on
        ‘properties’.
        
      • 
        Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
        ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
        

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.
