I HAVE read and followed the steps for running Spore on Win 10, trying every version of Windows listed in the compatibility drop-down, and with "Run as Admin" selected, and am still getting the stopped working message after only a few seconds.
Search Spore on your Windows 10 search, right click, and hit open file location. Right click Spore and hit properties. then compatibility. Check run this program in compatibility mode for:, then select Windows XP service 1 or 2.
It won't work for me, I tried everything.
I'm on Windows 10 also and have all the requirements needed to run the game.
It seems that there's a problem with Windows 10 because I tried all the compatibilities' choices and it won't work.
Will Spore run on Windows 10
Yes it runs, you just have some things to consider
Starts the game and exe in compatibility mode
- Right click on the Spore icon and exe
- Properties
- Choose compatibility tab
- Choose a Windows Version
- And set a flag in “Run this program as an administrator”
- Say okay

Thats cool and all but under the 4th step i cant choose windows 10 thats why i need the help
Try running the compatibility in Windows XP/Vista. SPORE was a game before even Windows 7 came through. Spore was never designed to work with Windows 10, though I'm running Windows 10 right now and it's working perfect for me; and this isn't even with compatibility mode.
If this still isn't working, try heading to C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\ and then deleting the SPORE folder. This will essentially put everything back to its default settings. NOTE: AppData is hidden by default. You can unhide it by doing a simple google search on how to show the AppData folder for the operating system you're using. Once you've deleted the folder, try opening SPORE.
None of these solutions are working for me either, and it's a fresh install via the Origin app!
Ok so let me just say i have done the steps in the FAQ you have linked and the game will flicker and reduce my screen resolution, BUT it will minimize and wont allow me to get into the game AT ALL. This is a serious issue for someone who just purchased a game they can't even play due to the setup files of the game by default DO NOT EVEN WORK IN COMPATIBILITY MODE. Using windows 10 Pro 64 bit a RTX 2080 Ti gpu as well. something is seriously wrong with the launch files of this game and need to be looked into.
BTW Freggi this is not me being mad at you but irritated at this problem.
I have reported this game to microsoft as incompatible.
Will try to do a test of disabling some cpu cores to see if it will help it to launch. Will report back soon.
