Hey guys I believe I may have found a solution to this. I am currently running windows 10 preview and had issues launching the game. Here is how I have fixed my issues.

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. In the search bar for Control Panel type Troubleshooting and click on it.
  3. Click Run programs made for previous versions of Windows
  4. Click next on the troubleshooter
  5. Select League of Legends on the program list
  6. Click troubleshoot problem
  7. Only have The first box checked and then press next
  8. From the list of Versions of Windows the only one that seems to work for me is when I use the Windows XP version
  9. Select windows XP and click next
  10. Click Test the program... which will open league

And that should fix it! League now works perfectly fine for me on windows 10 preview.

if you are still having this problem, I was going through the same thing but was able to fix it by going through the steps in the above comment but at step 7.Only have The first box checked and then press next, select the box that says something along the lines of " The program is installed but isn't displaying correctly" and run it. That fixed my problem.

I've heard other people say that League does work on Windows 10.

The biggest question is why are you complaining about a Tech Preview not working? Figure out your problems and post them on a Microsoft website, not this one!

maybe im saying this so people wouldnt get windows 10 unless they dont mind not playing, or risking it?

It's a preview... Things aren't meant to work yet. -_-

Like I asked: Are you actually using this for your every day operating system? If so, that's kinda stupid because it's only a preview to test microsoft related things.

OP is saying he's warning people. You don't have to be on your main PC to get a leave in ranked and ruin a game for 4 other players.

Unless you want people to be unaware of this type of thing, which if you do now, you won't in your next game when you have someone dc all game, then get off your high horse and stop complaining.

If no one plays LoL on a beta OS, then what's the point in testing anything. You're supposed to test that sort of thing.

Mine won't open at all. :/ I try to open it but it pops up a message tht says (I have to translate god) "A problem caused, that the program stoped correctly working. System Windows will close the program and tell you, if there is a solution to it." (or something like that) original message in Czech: "Problém způsobil, že program přestal správně fungovat. Systém Windows program ukončí a oznámí vám, zda je k dispozici řešení." I seriously ddon't know what to do.

In windows 10:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. In the search bar for Control Panel type Troubleshooting and click on it. 3 )Click Run programs made for previous versions of Windows
  3. Click next on the troubleshooter
  4. Select League of Legends on the program list
  5. Click next
  6. choose the second option: solve problem with program (i translated it from dutch to english so dunno the correct sentence).
  7. then you have 4 options. Choose the second one: (my translation from dutch to english, so could be different). The program does start up but does not function properly.
  8. next and problem solved!

I also was having troubles with Windows 10, I followed the 10 steps of the comment below but what worked for me was checking the 1st and third box. If that doesn't work keep trying different ways, that's what i did. Best of luck.

I keep on getting the bugsplat error after champ select and have done everything that the site suggested and even uninstalled and reinstalled and repaired

I was having a similar issue. Not exactly the same but my game was freezing during load screen. I tried this fix with the troubleshooting and it was the only thing that worked so far.

Creemaux1 votes

Im having a slightly different problem

I download everything correctly, but when I try to open up the game, it goes to a small window that says "PVP.net is not working" and then it just does its own troubleshoot and says its done with the problem, just to not open the game at all. Im using a dell desktop and I feel like the windows 10 update might not support the use of DirectX correctly or something?

Anybody who can help me with this, would be be greatly appreciated~ :D
