I went back to Windows 7

I found that any program that required an external launcher that had to connect to the internet was unable to launch in Windows 10.

I found this out because I was unable to play Borderland 2 and my GF was unable to play FF 14.

However, when I did a Google search I was unable to find many people with my issue so I don't think it is a Windows issue.
But I have a feeling that for some users the new Windows is not able to use launchers that have to validate online.

I do not know for sure, but I think when OOTP tries to validate the license online that Windows is preventing it.

Sorry, I have no idea how to help you. I spent several hours trying to fix the issues I was having and eventually gave up.
Also it appears that from my Google searches that this is not a common issue.
