Anyone else having this problem? GameFirst is running but cant open the app, I ran the windows troubleshooter and it suggested to run it in Windows 8 compatibility mode and now it works...

Cheers

I don't have such an issue. It runs perfectly on my native Win10.

The interesting thing is that windows troubleshooter suggests you run it in Win8, which probably implies the OS has been upgraded from Win8 to Win10. My experience for the upgrade from Win8 to Win10 wasn't a good one. After the OS migration, some of the applications just didn't run as expected, causing so-called interoperability issue. BTW, have you tried to uninstall GameFirst and reinstall it in Win10?
