a once compatibile program no works on windows 10

I have been running a program (Open Rails) on my Windows 10 computer, since its introduction. On Thursday my computer was updated and now the program will no longer run. All that happens when I try to run OPEN RAILS, is I receive the message "Open Rails
has stopped working". I went to the Update page and there I tried to download the results of the recent update and another message appeared saying the Microsoft Edge is not compatible. What was updated and how can I get back to again being able to run "Open
Rails" on my Windows 10 computer?

Let me know if I can provide some information from my computer.

Thank you

1-You cant sue MS you signed away your rights by downloading the software

2-MS cannot possibly investigate every possible permutation of hardware, operating systems, updates, malware, other user installed software that is incompatible, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Instead of railing against it care to tell exactly what you have done to try and trouble shoot it?

 

I would not mind keeping them If I have space and the unused apps doesn't affect my device performance.

 

Same here, they just remain unused, no biggie in my opinion. I uninstalled a bunch in the beginning, but then my system was downloading lib files many times a day, for apps that weren't there any more, so I reinstalled the app and now have peace.

 

I will simply say, Microsoft has bundled only useful and popular apps. There is nothing like bloatware. It's true that they are collecting data.

 

MS is collecting data on app usage and nothing else.

 

Another day, another pointless self promoting sales pitch from softpedia *Sleepy *Sick

 

Yup.. I really can't take a site like that serious. They generate more heat than light.

 

Wouldn't be nice to go back in time when most users weren't even connected to the Internet and you had to install, for example, Encyclopedia Britannica from a 7 DVD package?
No? I didn't think so. *Wink

 

Or like, 70 floppy disks. *Wink

 

I beg to differ.
Bloatware is bloatware, whether it comes from HP, Microsoft, or any software manufacturer.
If it is not OK with you when you get it with a new laptop then it is not going to be OK with you if you get it with your OS or AV Program.
Some people are very OCD when it comes to their Personal Computers *Redface and want to be in complete control of what happens to them. All of these intrusions that change and configure the machine without the owners knowledge or consent is annoying at best.

That said, if Microsoft is going to stick with the plan of not rolling out a new version of Windows, but simply upgrading Windows 10 in place, then they are going to need to find an alternate way to make money from the OS, and selling rights to have your time-sink game automatically included would be a logical way to do that.

This does not make me a Luddite wishing I had my dial-up modem back.
It means I am concerned that we are moving towards a world where you only get to rent your life and you don't get to actually own or control anything - your digital life anyways.

 

I am starting to think (not something folks want happening)that some folks need to take a step back, and think it is time to give up using a computer. This same topic is on just about every OS site on the internet. Mac OS X, Linux, Android, etc. Now Boys, and Girls just take a chill pill, and uninstall all the bloat or whatever it is called, and be happy. . .*Party

 

+100000 And give the size of SSD's and HDD's today is it really an issue??

 

Well, I looked right through the pre-installed apps, looking for "bloatware" to uninstall, using the powershell method, and most of the apps/programs that I'll never use on my PC or tab (phone, people, contact support, etc.) are so small it wasn't worth the bother. As long as you can uninstall it without going through the hassle of powershell, who cares?
