Windows 10: win 11 home will not allow installtion of games or other functions.

Hello, I have bought a new Lenovo laptop with win 11 S, my mistake, I have gotten rid of the "S" and am now running the home version. I have disabled the firewall, but cannot install games from Bigfish. I have downloaded the games successfully and when I try to install I get a box that says cannot connect to Bigfish. Any help will be appreciated.

Microsoft Defender firewall list of allowed apps and functions

Hello all

My game League of Legends, it is not on the Microsoft Defender firewall list of allowed apps and functions, and yet I can play it. All my other games is on the list. This is the case on both my laptop and main PC.

How can this be?
Have I somehow granted it access in some other way?

Thanks in advance for replying

Best regards

Problem with games on Win 10

Hi,



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



I would suggest you to install the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps.
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.
