I probably should have seen this coming, but the Windows 10 Microsoft Store is once again in the spotlight for its inability to distribute PC games adequately. Microsoft seemingly hasn't learned from the launches of Forza Motorsport 7, Gears of War 4, and beyond, because now it's Age of Empires Definitive Edition that seems to be struggling with its UWP launch on the Microsoft Store.
Age of Empire 1 pc download free offline installer setup exe file for all windows 32 and 64 bit. Age of Empires 1 is an RTS video game developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Games Studios in 1997. Visually the game is stunning, the graphics look good and the animations are just a. Aug 11, 2015 Especially for games that stood the test of time, like Age of Empires II. Especially now that Windows 10 is a free upgrade, it’s ever so tempting and the question is ever so burning. The answer is quite simple, yes, Age of Empires II HD is compatible with Windows 10, but it does not stop there.
Users are reporting issues with the game failing to launch, simply disappearing once you have clicked the play button. There are a couple of things you can try to get the game running properly while we wait (probably in vain) for Microsoft to make the Windows 10 app store anything less than a truly painful experience. It's a shame, because the game is truly awesome.
Things to check
- First of all, make sure you have set up your Microsoft Account for use with Xbox Live. You can do this by opening the Xbox app, by searching 'Xbox' in the Start Menu.
- Make sure the game is fully downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
- Make sure your antivirus software isn't blocking the program (or better yet, just uninstall it and use Windows Defender.)
- VPN software reportedly can also interfere with the game launching.
- The game might also fail to launch on Windows Insider builds.
Download Candy Crush Saga (wait, what?)
Seriously, downloading Candy Crush or any free game on the Microsoft Store reminds the Account system that you do, in fact, have entitlement to download games on the store. It's an odd issue affecting certain builds of Windows, but it does seem to work for some. Use the link below to give it a try. If it doesn't work, try some of the other methods further down.
Start (or restart) the Windows Store services
According to some reports, forcibly starting or restarting the Windows Store services can also help with some issues pertaining to the Windows Store, such as a greyed out install button.
- Type Services into the Start Menu.
- Click on the Services app.
- Scroll down to Windows PushToInstall Service.
- Click Start the service or Restart the service if it's already running.
- Scroll down to Windows Store Install Service.
Click Start the service or Restart the service if it's already running.
Reset Age of Empires DE game data
If the game is installed but failing to launch, resetting the game data might help.
- Open the settings menu by typing Settings into the Start Menu.
- Click on apps.
- Click on Age of Empires Definitive Edition.
Click on Advanced Options.
- Click on Reset. This will reset Age of Empires' cache data, potentially fixing issues preventing launch.
Reinstall Age of Empires DE
Age Of Empire Windows 10 Download
This is the nuclear option, particularly if you suffer from data caps, but reinstalling the game in addition to resetting the game data seems to have fixed the issues for some.
- Open the settings menu by typing Settings into the Start Menu.
- Click on apps.
Click on Age of Empires Definitive Edition.
- Click on Uninstall.
- When it's done, use this link to download and reinstall the game.
While we wait for Microsoft to solve the teething problems with games on the Windows 10 Microsoft Store, these methods will have to do. Microsoft has at least acknowledged that there are problems running Age of Empires DE in certain situations, so hopefully more robust fixes are in the pipeline.
Thankfully, we ran into no issues running the game when we conducted our review, and found it to be a truly remarkable exercise in remastering a classic. The issues with the game's distribution reflect more on the Windows Store and UWP than anything else, which is still, sadly, far from being a stable, pleasant experience for PC gamers.
Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is available now exclusively on the Windows 10 Microsoft Store for $19.99.

| posted 07-31-15 02:15 AM ET (US) 1 / 17 Strange, I installed AOE Gold several times without any of this. The problem is install is stuck on 100%, unless you run it in compatibility mode for Windows 98/ME: go to the disc main folder, right-click on AOESETUP.exe, Properties - Compatibility - Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 98/ Windows ME. Then start AOESETUP.exe. Do not set compatibility mode for other game files, only the setup and only if you can't install otherwise.

| posted 08-08-15 01:11 PM ET (US) 5 / 17 @windows10help: this sounds like a driver problem. Try to update to the latest drivers (or at least reinstall them, it might help). Windows 10 was quite rushed and personally I wouldn't use it for now (not to mention I find the intensive spying on MS side and the crappy interface extremely annoying). Contrary to the aggressive advertising and 'reviews' made by some sites, there is no significant advantage of using 10 for the average desktop user (unless you want to talk with your computer). At least not until there are enough good DirectX 12 games and only if you have the hardware for them.

| posted 02-19-16 05:35 AM ET (US) 6 / 17 The 98/me compatibility installation seemed to work fine. However, the screen resolution is way off - a good couple of inches on the right and bottom side are cut off. Has anyone run into this, and how do you fix this? Thanks a lot! |

| posted 08-02-17 02:48 AM ET (US) 8 / 17 hello everybody, my six pence worth here... the o.p. title was 'windows 10 install', installing aoe on to windows 10. i had my aoe run off an iso, p.c. doesn't have a cd/dvd drive (original archived...some centuries ago). i installed it on to w7, upgraded to w10 through the ms free upgrade programme. all worked fine, aoe was happily playing away. then a few days ago i installed the latest update...and for some reason, the mouse in the game didn't work too well, flickered etc. i uninstalled and tried to install. i got a repeating error that it didn't install and to try again from the install screen etc. i tried what iaindude said, install in safe mode...in a round about way it worked. i logged back in as administrator, in normal mode, it installed. when i logged in as my regular user (part of administrators) it had the error insert the cd in the cd rom drive..i unmounted the iso, re-mounted it..rebooted and it worked..somehow. now i can't be certain of the exact process i used to make it work, the crux of this is that 'installing' on to windows 10, in safe mode is the way to go. summary... install directly on to w10-may not work install onto w7 yes install onto w7 and upgrade to w10 worked. the o.p. from my attempt, is correct-key work INSTALL. regards . . . rammy121 |
