I Can't enable DirectPlay on Windows 10.

[Peter]

i installed a game, called "TrackMania Nations Forever".
This game need DirectPlay on to play it. Every time i try to enable direct play, i go to

1.Control Panel
2.Programs
3.Programs And Features
4.Turn Windows features on or off


And when i check the box Legacy Components and DirectPlay on and press ok i get THIS[imgur.com] error message.


I tried to check for windows updates and i also "sfc /scannow" the windows files with "CMD".



I followed all these instructions, found in this article here [answers.microsoft.com].

1. Press Windows Key + X on the keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.

2. Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

3. Now rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. You can do this by typing the following commands in the Command Prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

4. Now, let’s restart the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. Type the following commands in the Command Prompt for this. Press the ENTER key after you type each command.

net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

5. Type Exit in the Command Prompt to close it.

Now you may try running the Windows Updates and check if the above steps resolve the issue.

I can't fix this and i tried some repair tools, but no luck!

If someone know how i can fix this i will appreciate it.

another hint in the link (forget it was german and here is english lol sry) is turning off any antivirus/malware etc tool.
anyway i stopped updating my 1809 (same build)....any update was just pure horror and not without bugs...
its just win 10...no quality or anything...we are doing just pure alpha test all over the time.
