    Steam games not launching on Windows 10


    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem when I try to launch Steam games, as whatever game I try to launch doesn't actually launch. A message comes up about the game "preparing to launch" but then nothing after that happens. Some games give me an error saying Steam is not running at all, whereas others just do nothing.

    I've already completed all the troubleshooting steps on Steam's website but none of them have actually fixed it. The only temporary fix that works is restarting Steam, but this becomes very annoying when I have to do it multiple times a day every time I want to play a game.

    Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated - thanks When I launch a game on steam it says please close before stating this game :)

    Steam games won't launch on Windows 10?

    Hi Oaasfari,

    Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

    • Which are all the Steam games you are unable to launch?
    • Do you get any error message/code when you try to launch the game?
    If the Steam games are not working in Windows 10 then, I would suggest you to contact the Games manufacturer for further assistance and check if the Game is compatible with Windows 10.

    Reference: Refer to the following Microsoft article on
    Windows 10 help & how-to    .

    Windows help & learning

    Reply with necessary information and we will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 vs Steam Games

    Hi Antonio,

    Just to verify your concern, you are having trouble launching games on your PC that you purchased from Steam. Is this correct? If so, kindly provide us with the following information I have listed below:

    • What games are you trying to launch that you are having issues with?
    • Can you try launching other games like the default Windows games? (i.e. Solitaire)
    • Are you getting any error messages when launching these games?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    Please advise. we'll keep an eye out to your response.
