I don't know why but an awful lot of pro audio software had to be updated for Windows 10. I remember Audacity not working at first either.

That's because the windows audio stack was massively changed with windows 10 (notably introduced lower latency audio).

Didn't affect players or tools that used the top level api, but anything that interacted with the stack and its drivers had to be updated.

Seems like exactly the kind of thing compatibility mode should have worked for though.
