Problem

This Article goes over how to run SOLIDWORKS 2015 SP4.0 or earlier in Compatibility mode for Windows 10. SOLIDWORKS 2015 SP4.0 and earlier versions are not supported in the Windows 10 environment. We can work around this software limitation by running SOLIDWORKS in compatibility mode. This is not for SOLIDWORKS 2015 SP5 or newer.

Solution

  1. Right-click the SOLIDWORKS shortcut icon on the desktop
  2. Select "Properties"

                                                      

Right-click the SOLIDWORKS shortcut and select Properties
  1. Select the Compatibility tab
  2. Check the option for “Run this program in compatibility mode for”
  3. Select a supported Windows operating system corresponding to the version of SOLIDWORKS installed. More information on supported operating systems can be found here: System Requirements | SOLIDWORKS
Select the compatibility mode to use
  1. Click "Ok"
  2. Launch SOLIDWORKS to test if it can run
