scam!!! games aren’t starting
It’s not a scam – the games used to run ok, but I think M$ have broken it with the 2004 release by not allowing them to start (there is a similar problem reported with WMC for Windows 10 and the project has now been abandoned). They will probably argue it is some sort of security issue, but it is a shame as the online game system is rubbish. I reversed the 2004 update and the games are running ok on Windows 10 1909. I think there is a time limit of how long you can put off the update though.
I have Windows 10 – I used to have the game challenges available. The Game Mode is ON, but the litstle square in the start area doesn’t respond any more. What can I do?
