windows 11 pro

What happens if you right click on AOT > Run As Administrator?

pretty much nothing, it prompts me to say yes or no and no matter what I choose nothing happens

Could you please run the game diagnostics in the game lobby and paste me the results here? Thank you.

sure how do I do that

You will find the game diagnostics under "Options" in the AOT Main Lobby.

Installation path reported by registry is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology'
Verifying 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe' exists...
Success!
Voobly path is 'c:\program files (x86)\voobly'
Game version is '1.03'

Do you have this problem with any other application? It's really weird...

I agree that it's weird and no I don't have the same problem with any other games. It's probably just win11 being stupid.
I really appreciate the help but I think I'm just gonna give up lol

The only update I have is that going back to windows 10 did not solve the problem so I guess it's just me lol

Are you around tomorrow in the evening? Then I might have a closer look at this. Please join our help room!
