Error connected with "dxgmms2.sys" error with DirectX 8 or older games
This happened after the November 2015 update on Nvidia video cards that do not support DirectX 12 hardware features. Issue was resolved with Windows update KB3140743.
"To use this, you need to upgrade Windows" notification on Windows Store pages
Ensure Windows 10 is Version 1511 or later (run winver
from the start menu search box to verify).[1] The update can be installed through Windows Update (if listed) or manually from Get Windows 10.
Game Bar
The Game Bar allows easy recording of gameplay video (default ⊞ Win+G when in any game). It is enabled by default in Windows 10. Unfortunately, some games suffer from sporadic but severe FPS drops when the bar is enabled.[citation needed]

DirectDraw is broken
This issue actually first materialized in 8.1[4], unfortunately there is little more that can be done than use a DDraw wrapper:
- DgVoodoo 2, a glide wrapper, also has a DDraw wrapper built-in.
Microsoft removed the MIDI Mapper
Starting Windows 8.1 and later, Microsoft removed the ability to change the default MIDI device, at least officially
Modify the registry[5] |

Go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32" |
Use a MIDIMapper replacement[6][7] |

Use the CoolSoft MIDIMapper (requires sign-in to download) or KaleidonKep99's (A.K.A. Riccardo Loi) ReactOS MIDI Mapper (no longer availible). |
