I bought a new pc. On my old pc, I could play Japanese VNs with Locale Emulator without any problems. Even though I installed Locale Emulator on my new pc, the games don't open. What is the problem? Windows 10 OS

It seems LE has a poor compatibility with newer versions of win10. So one way is to roll back to old version(I'm still using 1903ver).

Locale emulator isn't the best solution, many games will require you to change your system locale.
Here is how you do it, it won't mess with dates or anything on your system if you do it right and all games should run natively without emulators.
