And here comes the compatibility mode, running an application in compatibility mode increases the chances of the application working on any version of Windows.

Compatibility mode helps to run older applications/software in the recent versions of Windows.

Here’s how Microsoft describes compatibility mode on WIndows – Most apps (and other programs, like games or utilities) that were created for earlier versions of Windows will work in the most recent version of Windows 10, but some older ones might run poorly or not at all. Here are some ways to fix common issues with older programs.
