I decided to start this topic just to help troubleshoot the problem of SimCity not launching on Windows 10. Usually, it's a program that blocks access for some reason.
Check to see if you have the following most common offenders:
- MSI's sound program Nahimic 2 - disable or uninstall
- Older AMD graphic drivers - make sure your driver is updated to at least version 18.1.1; download most recent drivers from AMD's website

If you find any other programs that block SimCity from launching, please reply to this thread to help other users.
