GnollHack's Minimum Required Operating System Back to Windows 10

Immediately after announcing that GnollHack requires Windows 11, people started sending reports that it works on their Windows 10 devices. Therefore, we decreased the minimum required operating system version back to Windows 10. However, we started a thread for collecting working and not working version numbers here:

You may post there reports how the game works for you, if you have Windows 10.

Various bug fixes.

Windows 11 is now required to play GnollHack

It seems that the game doesn't work on Windows 10. For now, we have increased the minimum requirement for the operating system to Windows 11.

Also, the official end-of-support for Windows 10 is coming on 14 October, 2025, after which the operating system doesn't receive any updates and is considered out-of-date.
