    Games cause the computer to freeze seconds after opening them for Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing us the troubleshooting steps that you have performed.

    I suggest to run the game in compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the game and click on properties.

    • Under Compatibility tab, check the option for ‘Run in Compatibility mode’.

    • Select Windows 8.1 from the drop down list.

    • Click on Apply and then OK.


    Please revert with the result of the issue and we will be happy to help you.
