    • Expand Display Adapters.
    • Right click on the driver and select Update Driver Software.
    • Follow the on-screen prompts to update.

  3. Not able to play games, keeps saying that it is incompatible and it doesn't load the game anymore.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the Games are not playing in Windows. We will help you.

    This issue might have caused due to the outdated drivers of the Graphics display card.

    Let's try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you to update graphics drivers
    and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager.



    • Search for Display Adapters and expand it.

    • Right click on the graphics driver
      and select Update driver software.
    Refer:
    How to update the graphics card drivers



    If that doesn't help uninstall and reinstall latest graphic driver from manufacturer's website.

    If the above steps do not work, then I suggest you to
    contact the manufacturer of the game. They would assist you better with the issue.

    Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

  4. Not being able to play a game I just bought

    Xbox games bought also being available in store on windows 10?

    Cuphead is part of a program called Play Anywhere. Games that are in that program that are bought on Xbox One can also be played on Windows 10 PCs (at no extra cost) and vice versa. Here's more info on the program, along with the list of games that are currently part of it: Xbox Play Anywhere | Xbox
