    Can't play my pes13 game on my windows 10 professional PC desktop

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are unable to play game.

    I will certainly help you with this.

    Did you check the game compatibility with Windows 10?

    I would suggest you to go through the below steps:

    Steps: Try to run the program in compatibility mode:


    • Right click on the game icon through which you launch the game.

    • Click on properties.

    • Click on compatibility tab.

    • Check the box, run this program in compatibility mode and select the previous operating system.

    • Click on apply and then ok.

    I hope this helps. Please post back with the status of the issue and we will be glad to assist you further.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
