    Window update won’t let me launch or setup any program.


    I haven’t updated my PC in a while 2017 because I haven’t had internet for a while and I can’t upgrade my window because of low storage and my parent won’t let me get a driver. Everytime when I try to setup or launch anything it will say something “it’s time to update your device” or something similar to that. I cannot update right now and I cannot open the program or software because of it appearing. Please help.

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

  3. 'The program was started in compatibility mode' during launching Onecklicstarter

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    If the program you are referring to is written to work with older version of Windows, Windows 10 will still try to run the program in Compatibility Mode. Program compatibility is a mode in Windows that lets you run programs written for earlier versions of
    Windows.

    I suggest you to reinstall the program in Compatibility mode and check if it helps. follow the below steps.


    • Right click the setup file for the program, this can be designated as
      setup.exe or something similar. Click Troubleshoot Compatibility
      to launch the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter wizard which will check for issues.

    • Select the option “Troubleshoot program”
      and depending on the problems you are experiencing when attempting to install or use the software, check off the problems. Click on Next.

    • Select a version of Windows the program is known to work in.

    • Click on Next and then follow the on screen instructions.

    If the issue still persist, you need to contact the software vendor and check for the latest updates to make the program run on Windows 10.

    Let us know the results.

    Window update won’t let me launch or setup any program.

    I downloaded Ark Scorched Earth but it won't let me play

    Hi
    Cheyen,

    There are a lot of possible reason why you cannot launch or play that specific game. To isolate this matter, we
    have some questions for you:


    • Did you download the game from Windows Store?

    • Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

    • Were there any error messages?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    It is possible that the game is not compatible with Windows 10 and need to be in
    compatibility mode
    for it to run.
    We suggest that you run the
    Program Compatibility Troubleshooter
    and check if there's any changes.
    To run the
    troubleshooter, follow these steps:


    • On the search bar, type
      Troubleshooting
      and hit
      Enter.

    • Choose
      Programs.

    • Click on
      Program Compatibility Troubleshooter
      and follow the instructions.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    Regards.
