Windows 10: Games are running slow now

HiRecently I have been having issues with my pc, basically, first my psu was fried a few months back and now my hard drive is acting weird or it's my pc, it acts likes my hard drive doesn't exist, I don't really know what the problem is, but when I flip my pc sideways, everything is back to normal, but that's the other stuff.The real problem I have is with games, when my hard drive started to act weird, games ran extremely slow and this was after reinstalling windows 10, like before, Minecraft bedrock with the right settings, with flarial, it ran at a smooth 60 fps, but now, it runs at like 2!

Wanting to run old games

Hi Jameson,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

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

You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
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.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

Slow running games

Hi All

Just hoping someone can help me with an issue I am having. All of a sudden every single game I run (apart from online) is running so slow that it is impossible to play them. It first appeared whilst running Bigfish games. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
the game manager 3 times, uninstalled the game and reinstalled twice still so slow I can't play, some other games are also running very very slow.

Thanks in advance

Belinda
