  1. Many older steam games won't work after last update...


    After installing the most recent Windows 10 update, I have noticed that many of my favorite older games such as Hearts of Iron 3, Silent Hunter 3, and Silent Hunter 4 no longer work. Does anyone know a solution for this? I have seen other people have the same problem but nobody seems to know what to do about it.

    :)

  3. Steam games do not work after latest update

    Hi,

    Issues in launching Steam games after the Windows 10, version 1703 update may occur if Game Mode is disabled or the game components are corrupted.

    To resolve your concern, we recommend that you manually enable Game Mode by following the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + G on your keyboard.
    • Select Settings in the Game bar.
    • In the General tab, select the check box for
      Game Mode.

    If you are still experiencing the same issue after enabling Game Mode, please answer the questions below so we can properly isolate your concern.

    • Were you asked to uninstall the Steam games before installing the Windows 10, version 1703 update?
    • Does the issue occur on other games aside from Steam games?

    Hi,

    To assist you better, I would like to ask some questions:

    • Does the issue occur only with Steam games or all games?
    • Are you able to view videos?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    I suggest you to update the Graphic Card driver by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters.
    • Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver.

    Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
