    Windows 10 - Windows 95 Compatibility Not Working


    I have an old Windows 95 3.1 PC game that I'm trying to play on my Windows 10 laptop. I've tried using compatibility mode and selecting Windows 95, then applying the settings, and then trying to run the game, but it's not working and I get the same error message "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for you PC, check with the software publisher." Can anyone tell me if there is a fix for this?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 - Windows 95 Compatibility Not Working

    Metro 2033 fails to work on windows 10!

    I don't recall you mentioning any trouble shooting steps attempted though. At the very least, doing a quick search and checking threads like this very well may have solved it for you. It's listed as compatible on MS' list of games that work with W10 for a reason, because many if not most are able to get it running on W10. At least some level of workaround may be required, but some got it running without doing anything.
