I will let you know if you have upgraded from windows 7 to 10 the conflict resides in old system files that have not been delete, there's a how-to-guide to quickly clean your system from the old and fix system files that could have been corrupted because of the upgrade process, if you have old windows 7 game file configuration files left in you r games documents from the change over and file directory your going to have to find the dates during the time period of the install dates to delete unnecessary files from when you updated, some old DII files stick around and may have a registry error input that is causing the issue and cause in-game performance or non-functional applications.

If I understand you - RDR2 was installed under W7. The EXE is therefore optimized for W7. Now under W10, you might TRY this: RIGHT-click on the RDR2 EXE and select PROPERTIES (usually at the bottom of the list). There's a TAB somewhere there where you can click on to "optimize for W10". Hope this helps

Mayb add run in compatibilty mode for windows 7 as it was designed in windows 7 anyway. Thats also in properties of the RDR2.exe
Thats BS anyway as I play in windows 7 perfectly.
see the recomendations on the store page

Guys chill. It's just a warning. FIveM for GTAV does the same thing, showing a warning and recommending Win10. It has no bearing on the game itself or performance.

For RDR2 if you ever get that warning click Hide Forever. Then within ...Documents/Red Dead Redemption 2/Settings; you will notice a file called OS-CHECK don't delete that otherwise it will keep giving you this warning.

I would not set any compatibility mode for these EXE as it's not needed. Just ensure the EXE is set as RUN AS ADMIN for ALL USERS. Is all you want to change.

Did you go through a series of upgrades perhaps? Win7 to 10 and then to 11?

Saying you are on 7 when you have 10 or 11 is some kind of bug, obviously.

Check Windows Audio Mixer.
Disable audio devices you won't be using.
Set what you are going to use as default prior to game launch.

Open Task Manager and Volume Mixer prior to game launch to after the game launches you can double check various volumes in your OS with ease.
