Hi ,
I searched lots of Q&A from answer.microsoft and none of them was completely useful so after lots of try and errors i found this useful specially for iWin games:
1. in the folder that you installed your game find the original executable file (it has a ".EXE" after it or in front of it under the type you can see "application")


2.Right click on it and choose properties.
3.choose "Compatibility" tab.
4. make the setting like this picture:

5. Have a fun gaming time :)
