Windows 10: My app runs fine on my pc but does not run without compatibility mode on my other pc?

I have recently published my C# app using ClickOnce. When I run my app on my PC which uses windows 10, it runs fine but when I try using my other pc which too has windows 10 installed, it doesn't open. I tried using compatibility troubleshooter which recommended me the setting for win 8 and after applying it's recommended settings, my app just works fine on my other pc. Pls tell me why is this issue happening? I know it resolves when we use the troubleshooter but I would be distributing this app and it will make it difficult for usersto manually turn it on. My source code is available here:&nb

Compatibility Assistant: This app can't run on this PC

I want to create some shims for a program I have. On my other machine ACT with Compatibility Assistant installed fine and was able to create the shim. On this machine, I get:

Compatibility Assistant

This App can't run on this PC

Application Compatibility Toolkit Microsoft Corporation

Application Compatibility Toolkit doesn't work on this version of Windows. An updated app may be available.

Windows 10 pro on both machines.

I went into safe mode, same error message.

Both 64 bit and 32 bit versions won't (the program I need to create shim for is 32 bit).

Any help would be appreciated.
