win 10 here, 3060ti and latest drivers, i also cleaned with diisplay driver uninstaller but i have this problem with ue games, if i dont set the win7 compatibility the process of the game stay in background and the game wont start
what could be my problem?

for example stray and esse proxy, all latest ue games need the compatibility
i tried old ue games like solar ash and metamorphosis and they started without problems
and also all vr games that have ue, they start without set the compatibility
 
some games have compatibility issues when ntdll changes with windows updates (or another kernel library deprecating some functions in there), thats why older win compatibilty is there to offer older api calls which got removed
i usualy go with win8 compatibility mode in win11

this seem to happen with all new unreal engine games (from 1 month to now)
