OK, I have been searching the forums like crash for some fix before I decided to just post. Took a break from the game (2 Months) and not came back and WoW will not open. So I ran down the list and updated drivers and even reinstalled battle.net app and Wow itself. Now it is crashing my computer when I click play from the battle.net App and even when I open the wow.exe file itself. Any help would be appreciated.
DxDiag info follows: pastebin Cw2H34pW
Your windows version is the rtm version. You are about 3 years behind on windows updates. That’s what you need to do first - get your OS to the current release.
I will look more into that but when I hit windows update, it says its up to date. And this worked the last time I played wow, back in October so 8.1 would influence this? I can play other blizzard games.
The nvidia drivers that you are using specifically call out not being compatible with older windows 10 releases.

Your release is all the way at the bottom. It’s the equivalent of using a non service packed version of windows 7.

Same happens to me. Game is unplayable after 8.1.
