Please follow these guides for properly installing and patching Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge:

If you choose the ddwrapper option mentioned in the "Handling Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge on Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10" section, do the following:

Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and try running the game again
