I have been having problems with the Playrix Entertainment games crashing after a few minutes of ply since upgrading my OS to Windows 10. There are several games that I got partway through under Windows 8.1, not crashing at all. Now under Windows 10, they start crashing after 5 minutes or less. Specific ones that I have had the problem with include Fishdom 3 and Barn Yarn.

ModeratorJust guessing here, but you might check that the correct graphics drivers are installed, that they're not for the wrong hardware, & Google or Bing with different search phrases to see if your graphics hardware &/or your hardware with that driver version has problems with games in 10. I've seen people report both issues, but Googling on playrix crashes in windows 10, I get nothing relevant, which to me indicates it's not a universal problem.
You can also check event viewer right after a crash, &/or look for any logs that the game might have written at the time of the crash. Windows 10 Task Mgr. is more complicated to look at than in win7, & it's possibly hiding some things, since the values I see don't add up to the totals it reports, but nonetheless it can point out if memory or CPU are at or close to 100%, & in that case look to see what's taking all your resources. It's possible that something that's running isn't compatible with 10, e.g. has a memory leak, or you might find Defender going crazy.
And of course you can always right click the .exe file for the game, select properties, & then try different compatibility settings, &/or run as admin.
Win10 is still a few major updates shy of going on my wife's PC, the one with all the Playrix games on it, so unfortunately I've no experience yet with their games in 10. OTOH I don't recall the Game GOTD download page being flooded with complaints that games won't run in 10, so hopefully your problem is solvable.
