Windows 10: My games will not work

Just got my Acer and after I had made sure that everything was updated and working properly I downloaded of my favorite games. but out of all of them only 1 works. One instantly crashes and goes to a black screen, one wont load at all, and the third will give the title load screen and freeze right there. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, ran diagnostics on each and nothing comes on. I don't know what is wrong, please help!!

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

My PC games are not working anymore what a disaster!!!

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

I would like to inform that the games which were working in previous Operating System may or may not work in Windows 10 due to compatibility issues. I suggest you to check for the latest version of the games which are not working, check compatibility with
Windows 10 and install. If the latest version is not available or if the games are not compatible, suggest you to install the games in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below:

• Download the setup files for the game and save it on your local disk.
• Right click on the setup file of the game and select
  “Properties”.
• Select “Compatibility” Tab.
• Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
• Let the game install and then check thefunctionality.
