Windows 10 Apps on Wine

[SullenSecret]

I've tried to run some desktop programs on Linux through Wine and have encountered trouble with switching over to Windows 10 in the OS option. I install the program in Windows 7 mode, and it works, but Windows 10 mode breaks it, even after a full reinstall of everything. This is important because I need to run others, which are Windows 10 programs that lock me out from using Windows 7 mode. Is there some trick to getting Windows 10 mode working that I don't know. I'm quite new to this stuff. Thanks. Note: I was using Q4Wine to adjust settings, if that matters. Also, I did not install the program that makes Windows programs executable by Linux. They all ran as Q4Wine files.

You can run programs with different Windows versions:
winecfg → Applications → Add application... → Browse to the exe file →
Change "Windows Version:" from "Use global settings" to "Windows 7"

Thanks, but I need to simply run everything in Windows 10 mode. I'm asking if there's a trick to getting that to work that I simply don't know.

You can also use winecfg to set the default Windows version to Windows 10.
You can do this with the GUI or with the command line:

Code: Select all

winecfg -v win10
