Pff Windows 10.. how old... Windows 2000 I say!

 

Doing a quick Google at Max Payne 1 and 2, it looks like they are solutions, and it seems to be related to a coding issue where it doesn't like multi-core CPUs. Based on the first search result, which can be fixed, by telling Windows to set the game to processor 1 only. https://steamcommunity.com/app/12150/discussions/0/828937979068499775/

 

But aside from that, some people claim to run it successfully under compatibility mode, in other links

 

I sadly don't have the game to give it a spin. But if you can try on your laptop these things, as it urns Windows 10 already.

Ok I think what he saying is:

  1.  Make sure the game is not running on the back. So either restart your computer, or open Task Manager and check if it is running or not, if it does select it, and click on "End Task".
     
  2. Make sure you see file extensions. Open a folder, such as clicking on the "File Explorer" icon on the Start Menu or Taskbar, and go to View tab, and make sure that the "File name extension" check box is checked.
     
  3. Create a text file somewhere (Right-click on empty space, like on your desktop, or in a folder. A menu will pop-up, naturally,  and in the menu, go under New > Text Document). Rename that file to: "Max Payne.bat" (you can call what you want, but the file extension needs to be ".bat". And be sure it is ".bat", and not ".bat.txt"). Once renamed, Windows will you that you are about to change the file extension and that it may no longer work. And asking you if you are sure you want to change it. Say, Yes.
     
  4. Now, right-click on that file, and select "Edit" in the menu. Notepad will open and show a blank document. In it, type: start /affinity 1 MaxPayne.exe
    This command like, says to Windows to run the game (MaxPayne.exe) on 1 CPU core only.
     
  5. Save the file. Now, cut that file (Right-click > Cut), and go where the game is installed. Find the folder that has "MaxPayne.exe", and in it, Right-click in the empty area of the folder, and select Paste. This will move the file that you created previously there.
     
  6. Now, double click on Max Payne.bat file when you want to play the game, and not the .exe (executable) file. See if it works.
     
  7. If it does not work, open the Task Manager once again, and make sure the game is closed, or restart your system. Now, return back to the folder where the game is, where MaxPayne.exe  is located, and now right-click on the executable, this time, and select Properties, and in there, go under the Compatibility tab. In that tab, play with the options. You may want to select "Windows 95" or "Windows 98 / Windows Me", click on OK to apply and close, and now try again (Remember, run the Max Payne.bat, NOT the executable. If that still doesn't work, return back to the Compatibility tab, and try different options in there. Again, make sure the game is not running on the back, else you won't see it working, as the game is already running, even though you see nothing on the screen.
     
  8. Once you find the proper configuration and everything works. Repeat the same process with the Max Payne 2. Chances are the settings that made the first game work, are the same as the second.

 

Hope this helps :)
