Since upgrading to windows 10 Red alert 3 uprising will not start anymore.

This was an issue from 2015 and has long since been resolved. Can this thread be closed or deleted? This place is getting necro'd

    @Emperor-Kappa  @NoobyDelay The problem you are seeing is that software that was created for older Windows operating systems will have issues with properly working with an operating system that did not even exist when the software was written. In most cases a little tinkering on your end should solve the issues and I have had Red Alert 3 up and running on a number of Win 10 devices.

    Can you try installing DirectX 9 and then running the game as admin in compatibility mode.
