    Older games on W10 mess.


    Whenever I try to play older games like Medal of Honor (oldest ones), Return to Castle Wallenstein, Battlefield 1,2,3 etc. after exiting them, they leave a mess of my desktop, sending icons all over the place and other 2 monitors. What's even worse, they brake up my Eyefinity settings and I have to rebuild it every time after exiting games.

    :)

  2. Missing Microsoft games after upgrading to Windows 10

    I had my older pc change to Windows 10 and my new PC stayed with windows 7, So now I copied the whole w7 games directory onto a memory stick and then copied into a blank games folder on w10. All the games disappeared on the stick & the W10 games dir. But
    when I returned the stick to the new w7 pc they were playable again!

    I tried to change features of the W10 games folder to try copying again but games dir did not appear in the "features listing".

    It looks like Windows do not like my grandchildren playing games on my PC!

    The older grandchildren can type and use mouse and keyboard better than their peers. The younger ones can use my older pc as I will NOT change to windows 10.

    Windows store does NOT give us the same as w7? I refuse to play in a cloud - whatever that is.
