  1. Unable to set program compatibility on windows 10


    I'm trying to set program compatibility on windows 10. The property tab for doing this doesn't show up.I've checked the registry key. The AppCompat key is not there which means that the tab should be displayed.I've also checked the setting in the group policy editor. It is set to "Not Configured" which means that the tab should be displayed.I've checked multiple files for the tab, not that that should make a difference.Everything that I have found online indicates that I should see the tab.Anyone have any suggestions?

    :)

    unable to play backwars compatible game on windows 10

    Hi CloakingRope170,

    Some apps created earlier than Windows 10 might not run optimally or will not run at all due to possible compatibility issues. As a first troubleshooting step, i suggest running the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter and see if it helps. Here are the steps:

    1. Enter the name of the game on the Windows search box.
    2. Right click on the result and select Open file location.
    3. Right click on the game and select Properties.
    4. Under the Compatibility tab, click Run compatibility troubleshooter.
    5. Follow the troubleshooter wizard and complete the process.

    If you continue to experience the issue after the compatibility troubleshooter, try the suggested
    compatibility settings based on this link. Just adjust one or more of the following
    settings and select OK when you’re done.

    Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

  3. Turn off Program Compatibility Mode

    Hi Harry,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Do let us know the exact issue you are facing with compatibility on Windows 10?

    I suggest you to stop the Program Compatibility Assistant service
    and check if it helps.

    This service provides support for program compatibility assistant. PCA monitors programs installed and run by the user and detects unknown compatibility problems. If this service is stopped PCA will not work properly.

    Steps:

    • Click Start, type
      Services.msc
      in the Start Search box.
    • Scroll down the list of services, right-click
      Program Compatibility Assistant service and select
      Stop.

    Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further assistance on Windows Operating System, we will be happy to help you.
