Windows 10: I want to launch a game as an administrator as a potential fix to current technical issues...

I've tried to launch the game as administrator through the shortcut but the option doesn't appear. I've also tried doing it through the start menu but it just shows the files under the games name rather than the game itself.

Game Launch Issues

Hi Shantal, thanks for your reply and your suggestions!

Unfortunately, none of these steps worked for me. I may reach out to the game developers for their thoughts but I am confident there are no hardware compatibility issues because I am able to launch the games as long as I do so immediately after booting up, and I can play the games for hours without any issues. For the same reason, I am confident that reaching out to any PC component manufacturers would not be fruitful.

 

Launching games

Hi Wesley,

Windows 10 is gamer-friendly by design. If an issue like being unable to launch a game happens, it can be caused by outdated display driver or other factors that cause conflict when launching the app. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask for additional
information. Please answer the following:

• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
• Are you getting an error message when launching the game?
• Have you made any changes to the settings or installed updates prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• What specific games are you having issues with?

We will wait for your response.

 

0xc000007b error when launching Rising Thunder game

The game appears to be currently in a pre-launch condition. You may have discovered a bug that should be reported to the developers under the testing agreement you have with them. It appears this game is now public alpha.

You should report the problem on the Rising Thunder Bugs forum.

Further to your comments that this error appears with multiple programs.

Various forums suggest an array of potential solutions. I'll summarise them here for you.

• Run chkdsk on your primary drive. Run the command prompt as administrator and enter chkdsk there. Source
  
• Run the faulting program as administrator.
  
• Run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP.
  
• Reinstall the C++ redistributables (I know you said you had done this but you might have missed one). Source
  

Some sites suggest downloading DLL files from weird sites, I wouldn't recommend that at all.
