Windows 10: Windows 11 is not allowing me to install DirectPlay

Hello,I am trying to install the Legacy Feature DirectPlay to play an old game.But when I go to the Features window and I click to install it, it takes forever, searching for the files.After many minutes, I have to kill the process.I thought it could be something related to the update process, but my Windows Update is working fine and I have the lastest version of everything here.I tried many times, even using the command line in an elevated powershel: dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureNameirectPlay /AllI also tried to install Directx 9.0 from the Windows installation, but it does not see

Directplay on Windows 10

We both did this (me and the person asking this several posts above). There were others suggesting this (and of course, this is the way to have DIrectplay on window 10). The problem was that after the restart needed to complete the activation of Directplay
the option was again disabled. There was a loop of errors. Directplay needed windows to restart and the restart deactivated Directplay. For me, only the reinstall worked.

 

Directplay on Windows 10

******type the following into your windows search bar at the bottom left corner of the screen next to the start/windows icon:

"windows features" - turn on/off

open windows features.

scan the list for "legacy features"

open the expand (+) button to reveal "directplay"

check the box for "directplay"

allow windows to search for the required files and make changes

*enjoy playing antique games again*
