1) Delete Corrupted Files
One of the most common reasons for games crashing on Windows is because of corrupted files. To fix this, you can delete the corrupted files and then restart your computer. Here's how Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager (or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete). Then click File > Run new task and type explorer . Once you're inside Windows Explorer, select C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local from the left column. Scroll down until you find an icon with a green arrow symbol on it that says AC-DC. Double-click it and type Del in the box that pops up at the top right. Then go back to Task Manager and close it by clicking File > Exit or pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Restart your computer and try running the game again.
2) Update Graphics Card Drivers
Check Driver Updates: If deleting corrupted files doesn't work, try updating drivers. Here's how Open Device Manager by pressing Windows Key + X, typing device manager into search bar and clicking Device Manager. Expand the list of devices by clicking View > Show hidden devices. Find the video card on the list and double-click it to bring up its properties window. Click the Driver tab, update driver software and wait for Windows 10 to find updated drivers automatically. If Windows 10 can't find any updated drivers, download a different graphics card driver from your manufacturer's website. Restart your computer after installing the new driver and test to see if you still have problems with games not loading or running correctly.

Updating Windows can often fix game crashes. To do this, open the Start menu and click on Settings. Then, click on Update & Security and select Windows Update.

Next, check your antivirus software: Make sure it's not blocking games from running by going into the settings of your antivirus software and adding exceptions for Steam or Origin games (depending on which you use).
