There are a number of guides for configuring Windows 10 to enable games to run on that OS, you just have to use google to find them.

I recently acquired a new computer with Windows 10 OS and had to configure it to run my games, I can only speak for my games which are Bethesda games, TES and Fallout, mostly but configuring mainly consisted of right clicking on the games exe and choosing "troubleshoot compatibility".

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Configure what?
Nonsense. The games don't run cause you don't have what's needed installed. A fresh OS will require proper drivers as well as a few runtimes, such as Directx, VisualC++, dot-NET/ASP/XNA Frameworks. And stop installing those junk AV programs

Right click a Steam game and verify it via the option in properties

In the remaining games, there are no error reports after departure.

Most games won't have error logs of their own, usually have to look within Computer Management > Windows Logs > Application
