New Update might have killed my old games - Microsoft Community

-

i've had bizarre , 1 of kind issue haven't seen come anywhere else. since latest update installed less week ago, every game close 10+ years old has quit working. guild wars 2, napoleon total war, medieval 2, empire @ war etc, dont work regardless of whether on cd or launched steam. newer games such endless space, overwatch, atilla total war work fine games do.

however old games don't work in same specific way. launch , freeze @ opening title/license screen, yet if hit ctrl alt del, game advance during limited time takes computer switch task manager. if keep hitting ctrl alt del, game advance forward 1 second @ time, doesn't freeze can still move mouse around , click on things in main menu, if game showing not responding @ moment. if computer putting frozen game on functioning game.

i've tried optimizing computer performance, virus scans, updating drivers, troubleshooting programs yet computer isn't detecting issues on front.
