  1. Windows 10 update cause my games not to work


    I just updated my windows 10 pc today and now I can't play games I played recently. Like assassins creed unity, which crash after the loading screen. I know it is a buggy game but I was able to play it without any issues until I update windows 10 today. Please help me.

    :)

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.

    Kind Regards: Chispy

    Hi Tom,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    The issue might cause due to compatibility issues of the game with Windows 10. So, I suggest you to install the game in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Right click on the setup file of the game and select
      “Properties”.
    • Select “Compatibility” Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
    • Let the game install and then check thefunctionality.

    Hope this helps. keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
