Herewe can see, “FIX: Age of Empires 3 doesn’t work in Windows 10” There could be a compatibility issue if you can’t get Age of Empires 3 to run on Windows 10. Try running the game in compatibility mode to see if it helps. It’s also possible that you’ll need to update your Windows version to get your game back up and running.
Whywould this belong on the Xbox forums? Age of Empires 2 is a PC game. A fairly old PC game, I'll admit, but a PC game none the less. This seems like an issue of Windows 10 telling me that I don't have permission to run a .exe file.
Onyour windows desktop, right click on the shortcut for age of empires. Go to Properties. Select the Shortcut tab. Beside "Target" there's a field that says "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\EMPIRES2.EXE" or wherever it is that you've installed. After the quotation mark, leave a space and type "normalmouse" (no quotations).
