Steam vs windows10

[Witchking]

So yeah, My computer updated itself From windows 8 to Windows 10 after the update  games like gta iv and other games i have on steam won't launch. they start and after like 4 seconds of launching i get an error like '' Gta IV have stopped working'' and windows want to find a solution but it doesn't

Now i have tried like everything they post on google but it still does that stuff, so ye please someone here, have some smart idea and yeah you don't need post that i should look on google cause i have already done that

1) Probably not but if you are using a directory for your games other than the steam default directory (directory where steam files are installed), please check that if your steam settings have changed.
Steam>Settings>Downloads>Steam Library Folders.

Make sure the directory where your steam games are installed is listed.

2) Delete the savefiles and setting files of the games not working from My documents in the user folder.

Hold up, before doing this go to your steam, click properties, verify game libraries or something like that.
It will try to fix corrupted files, no need to outright delete them

Are you using Windows 10 Home?

Listen, I had a lot of issues with Windows 10 Home, I have a high-end PC can run any kind of games, I have just installed GTA SA and then a lag mania whenever I join the game.

A lot of games didn't work even Google Chrome apps lagged too,  I have just noticed that Windows 10 Home isn't a PC to deal with games. You aren't the only one is facing this, there is a lot of people faced it.

Also if you had an activated Windows 8 and moved to Windows 10, your license will be gone for sure.

Edit: if you want to go back to your original Windows 8 ...

Check this.

And always make sure to CHECK all possible ways and then try mine, don't depend on one solution.

Windows 10 has no problems with games. My PC is W10 Home and games run flawlessly. Since download speed isnt probably one of your issues. Backup your games on steam and then reinstall steam. It should work that way.
