Windows 10: PC Can't Run Many Games

I built myself this pc and it was working fine, but games started to crash. Games that crash--- Sea Of Thieves Microsoft : Astroneer Microsoft : Minecraft JAVA : Minecraft Bedrock Microsoft : Fortnite Epic. Games that work --- Forza Horizon 4 Microsoft : Terra Tech Steam : Roblox Microsoft. The PC has IntelR CoreTM i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3.60 GHz, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, and 16 gigs of RAM. I'm fairly convinced the Ram and Memory isn't the problem, because I've watch the task manager while playing and it just crashes for no reason. I haven't played Mi

Wanting to run old games

Hi Jameson,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I would suggest you to refer the below link and check the compatibility of the game with Windows 10.

You may also try installing the game in compatibility mode.
Follow these steps to install the game software in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• • • • 
        Right-click on the game setup file and click on
        ‘properties’.
        
      • 
        Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
        ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
        

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to get in touch with the game manufacturer if it’s specific to that particular game.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
