I had exactly same problem - I spent hours on google and found a solution which works for me:

- download ddraw.dll (http://bitpatch.com/ddwrapper.html), change aqrit.cfg file like this:

RealDDrawPath = AUTO
BltMirror = 1
BltNoTearing = 1
ColorFix = 1
DisableHighDpiScaling = 1
FakeVsync = 1
FakeVsyncInterval = 0
ForceBltNoTearing = 1
ForceDirectDrawEmulation = 1
NoVideoMemory = 1
SingleProcAffinity = 1
ShowFPS = 1

- change ra2.ini and ra2md.ini - video section like this:

[Video]

AllowHiResMode=yes
AllowVRAMSidebar=yes
StrechMovies=yes
VideoBackBuffer=no
ScreenWidth=1920
ScreenHeight=1080
StretchMovies=no

- change power scheme of my graphic card (Intel HD 4600) to high performance

- for all exe files in RA2 folder I changed compatibility to WinXP SP3, 16b color depth and run as administrator

- also switch off UAC

This video helps me so much:

After this I'm able to play this game on Windows10 64b.
