I can't believe I'm the only person having this problem.


I removed KB5001649 - still doesn't work.


Went into config and set resolution 10 1024X768 and it starts. Set to 1920X1080 in game options and I'm up and running.

1st, you are not the only one having this problem! There are at least 2 of us and likely more. I am getting the old Red Box that says, "User Acct Control
This App has been blocked for your protection by another Administrator.

Check with yiour Administrator."

It then lists the location of my game files which is in C:\WOTP.

I'm still looking for a fix - when I search for this error I get pages and pages of links which I am still going through.

Good luck with your issue! It's guaranteed someone on this list will share the answer - don't give up!
