    I recently bought a new desktop with Windows 11, but I'm finding it impossible to play computer games. I play a range of MMOs, and the same problem is occuring with all of them. I never had this problem with my old Windows 10 computer, and I still do not have this problem on my Windows 10 laptop.When in a game, I frequently lose all control of the character. It runs around like an idiot, activating functions assigned to keys I have not pressed. It makes playing impossible. I have looked up solutions, but have only found two:1 The first is to play in fullscreen mode. This is inconvenient becau

    Does gaming at 4K make sense.. ??

    the money has gone into my system.. around £1800 quid on graphics cards and monitor.. so i dont thinks its all about money..

    i started the thread with simple question.. does 4K gaming make sense.. so far i aint seen anything to suggest it does..

    the gist so far seems to say it can be done.. it can be done.. but the price is too high both in frames rates.. power consumption and set up costs to even vaguely suggest it makes even the slightest sense.. he he

    so okay we know it can be done.. but if the much talked about 60 FPS as a basic aim makes any sense at all.. it cant even be done in a reasonable fashion with titles that do have pretty enough graphics to maybe justify the extra pixels..

    it all has to be compared to lets say a base 1080 resolution.. 1080 can be done well even on a mid range system.. 1080 makes sense..

    1440.. yep that can be done well on a high end system.. 1440 makes sense but maybe not as much sense as 1080..

    4K.. as yet that cant be done well at all.. i see no sense in 4K..

    by the time 4K can be be done and done well we will be after 8K.. okay maybe not all but some.. he he

    trog

    ps.. i do run 1440 and do cap my fps at around 70/75 -ish.. my own kind of minimum choice for fluid game play..

    Can't play pyramid solitaire game in Windows 10

    Hi Lee,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to try installing the game in compatibility mode and check:

    Follow these steps to install the game in compatibility mode.


    • Download the game from the manufacturer’s website.

    • 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 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
