Black screen after intro movie?

I just wanted to confirm that the black screen problem is resolved by running in compatibility mode.

I just checked my shortcut on the desktop, no compat and no run as admin, and its running fine. My win 10 is right up to date, updates wise, too. Checked dx, its ver 12

Red Devil, the "shortcut" on your desktop is just that....a "shortcut" to the actual games "Execution" file (SH4.exe) found in your main game folder. The "Properties" in the SH4.exe file is what needs to be checked/changed to have the game run. The "shortcut" only points a "path" to the games execution "SH4.exe" file.

If you have Windows 10 (or several of the newer OS versions), anytime a blank screen appears when starting your game, you should follow THIS procedure to have the "Troubleshooter" give you its best option to correct the problem.

I am on Windows 10 FCU 1709. With Nvidia 388.13 driver. No black screen and I don't have any special properties settings on the exe file.
Seems Windows has resolved this issue SSH3 runs fine also.

There is another game I have that requires admin permissions and thats Freelancer (MS) I have the relevant ticks in the shortcut, not in any exe file and it works fine. I'll check your reasoning further.

sh4 exe file has nothing ticked
