The information comes from a Microsoft’s Boris Schneider-Johne:
“Everything that ran in Windows 7 should also run in Windows 10. There are just two silly exceptions: antivirus software and stuff that’s deeply embedded into the system,” Schneider-Johne said.
“And then there are old games on CD-Rom that have DRM. This DRM stuff is also deeply embedded in your system, and that’s where Windows 10 says ‘sorry, we cannot allow that, because that would be a possible loophole for computer viruses.’"
“That’s why there are a couple of games from 2003-2008 with Securom, etc. that simply don’t run without a no-CD patch or some such. We can just not support that if it’s a possible danger for our users. There are a couple of patches from developers already, and there is stuff like GOG where you’ll find versions of those games that work.”
Further investigation by PCgamesHardware.de, again translated by RPS, suggests SafeDisk, for one, won’t be doing anything about the problem and has left it up to Microsoft to fix – and that seems unlikely given that SafeDisk itself is notoriously insecure.
