  3. 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.

    Hi Darshanhk,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1:

    Perform System File Check (SFC), and then check if this fixes the issue.

    Follow the steps:

    a. Press “Windows Key + Q” to open Charms Bar.

    b. Type cmd without quotes in the search box.

    c. On the left pane, right click on the “cmd” option and select “Run as Administrator”.

    d. Type sfc /scannow’ without quotes and hit enter.

    Method 2:

    If issue persist, I suggest you to try running DISM scan by following the below steps:

    • Press Windows key, and type CMD in search. Right click on CMD and click on Run as administrator.
      • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

    Method 3: PowerShell

    Step: 1 Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip:
    Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.

    Step: 2 Click File > Run New Task

    Step: 3 Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”

    Step: 4 Type PowerShell

    Step: 5 Type the following in the PowerShell prompt:

    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest

    Step: 6 Close the PowerShell window

    Step: 7 Reboot

    Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

    Thanks
