    Games won't launch and run in background Alienware M15 R3


    Greetings,As stated in the title most video games executables or other applications won't launch when I open them with or without administrator access and run in background, if I try to open multiple times and check the task manager I notice they will continuously be added as processes. And after few second the app closes automatically from the process,I tried the same game fileExample: Watch dogs Legion, L.A Noire I install on my brother's Lenovo Laptop it worked smoothly without any issueThis started happening since the day 1 and I even reinstalled windows neatly

    :)

    I believe so, yes. I entered in my service tag # and downloaded and installed the recommended version, more than once.

    I just looked on Dell Alienware sight, and for an M15, this is the correct Command Center App. If you scroll down toward the bottom, in Compatible Systems, you will see the M15. Is this what you are running?
