Hello @PorridgeSkeletor,
Unfortunately this is a known issue under Win 10
Install all the patches of Spore

Make a registry cleaning with CCleaner or use Windows own Disk Cleanup

LizI do not understand how to patch Spore. The link you directed me to says that to patch it I launch Spore however error 8016 prevents me from launching.
This particular error happens before Spore finishes launching. As such, it never gets to the point where it installs the updates. I have been unable to find offline update installers, so I cannot patch it manually. As such, this solution is completely invalid.
I have a thread about this in the Help Section of the Official Spore Forum.

That forum has a link to where I could download the patch manually. However, patching did not resolve this for me. I see no reason to use CCleaner. My computer is one week old. There is nothing to clean out of my registry. There have been no failed installations and re-installations. There has simply been successful installation of software which does not run.

The only solution that I have been offered at this point is to downgrade to Windows 7 which does run Spore. I hope that somehow the message will make its way to EA that Spore simply does not run on Windows 10.
Hey guys,
Sure, sure Spore running on Windows 10, but mostly affected pc's with an Intel Skylake Processor , Asus, Gigabyte.
I myself use it on Windows 10 Pro, it runs without any problems.
I share some more useful links on the subject
This program cannot be executed(8016)". After pressing "Ok" , game quits.

Here on the German Game News side "4Players", you'll find patches for manual installation.http://www.4players.de/4players.php/spieldownloads/Downloads/6851/0/Spore.html
Make sure that the game runs under administrator rights
Good luck
