Problems Uninstalling, Updating and Running Programs in Windows 10

When the last major windows 10 update came out I updated like normal. I then went to play my cracked copy of Age of Empires 2 the Conquerors and I kept getting the error " Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with direct draw" so I went to the forums and someone suggested I downgrade back to the previous version. Well i downgraded and it didn't work so i just went back to the upgrade.

Well now for some reason both itunes and winzip icons are gone the icons now just look like blank pieces of paper and i can't update or remove them from my computer in the control panel because of the error " the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" and I have no earthly idea how to fix this issue. This is really a two pronged question as i'd like to be able to play my cracked version of AOE and Star Wars Galactic Battle Grounds as I do own legit copies of the games but my computer doesn't have a disc drive so I have to use the crack. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

@cjman25 we don not provide assistance with any cracked software. Please read the Forum Rules especially #4 which states

I have not stolen software I own physical copies of both games and it will do the same thing if i were to plug in a disc drive and run the games as well.
