Hello,
I have RA2 and Yuri Revenge installed on my PC at the moment while running Windows 10. There are a few things you'll have to do. After installing it, go to the folder you installed it to (default is C:WestwoodRA2 OR C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesCommand and Conquer Red Alert II if you're running it through Origin) find the following .exe's
Game.exe and gameMD.exe right click them, select properties, and under the compatibility tab select run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2, also check off the box that says 'run as administrator'.
That alone will allow the game to run, but it will be pretty laggy in-game. To help with the lag find the .ini files in the same folder listed above, they are 'ra2.ini and ra2md.ini' open them with notepad and under section titled [Video] add the following line'
VideoBackBuffer=no
![Red alert 2 windows 10 freeze Red alert 2 windows 10 freeze](/uploads/1/2/4/8/124856442/289614112.jpg)
optionally you can also change your resolution to a higher one, as the game forces you to play on a lower resolution because its so old, but you can play on 1920x1080 if you monitor supports it. below is an example of my ra2.ini video section:
[Video]
ScreenWidth=1920
ScreenHeight=1080
StretchMovies=no
VideoBackBuffer=no
ScreenWidth=1920
ScreenHeight=1080
StretchMovies=no
VideoBackBuffer=no
One thing to note is, you cannot minimize once the game is loaded or it will crash. I'm not sure how to fix that yet.
Lastly, if you want even less lag in-game there is a third party patch to speed up in-game graphics, you can find it on the RA2 Online ladders website (xwis)

The steps to apply that patch are located in that forum post, as well a a download to the patch itself.
Also as a last thing, in windows 10 the MS Xbox DVR app forces VSync to be turned on. I have a 144hz monitor and it was forcing my refresh rate to 60 which made the game feel sluggish.
If you don't use the Xbox app, you can remove it using powershell by opening powershell as an administrator and pasting in this line:

Get-Appxpackage *xbox* | Remove-AppxPackage
This will allow the game to run in whatever your monitors refresh rate is set to.
Have fun.
