C++Builder 10.3 app won't run on a new PC - c++builder-10.3-rio

I got a new laptop (HP Omen) running Windows 10 Home 64bit. I put my 32bit C++Builder app on the new laptop, and it doesn't run.
I can see in Task Manager that the app starts to load, but within 2-3 seconds it is removed from Task Manager, and the program does not run.
I see the mouse pointer change to an hourglass for 2 seconds, but that is it!
I tried running in safe mode, running as admin, running from a command prompt.
There is no antivirus installed. I disabled Microsoft Defender.
Any ideas what I can try?

Unable to run EXE's from network share

Before i begin let me inform you that I've already gone through other threads here regarding the same issue, none of them seems to have helped, therefore creating my own.
The issue started recently, by the very least i think it started happening 3 weeks ago. we have a custom build application that is deployed on our Network share, the exe is lightweight program, nothing too heavy.
The EXE can be ran manually or through our a shortcut but doesn't run either ways, a window about the same size as the app pops up and disappears immediately if you constantly double click on the exe.
All our Client computers are Windows 10 1909 build. All our servers are VMs running on a Hyper-V host and Windows Server 2019 latest version as well. only the Hyper-V Host is Server 2016 and the application runs fine on that server only.
Infact all other EXEs can be opened through the network share (not on the same server but on a VM) on that 2016 host but none of the exe's open on any other client computer or VM's.
The respective GPO to trust UNC paths is enabled and applied, there are no errors or warning whatsoever when launching any of the exe's, the files just don't open no matter how many times you click on it.
Any Ideas?

How to make my windows7 based application run or set notification on windows8.1

all
I'm working on my windows7 pc with Visual Studio 2013. Windows8 sdk is installed.
I do not want to change a lot to port my project to a windows-store based program but I want my program can send notification while my windows8.1 tablet pc is sleeping.
I don't need my app actually running after entering sleep. I just want to setup an alarm-like (with defined alarming time) notification when I push some button in my app, before entering sleep mode.
Alternatively, I want my app keep playing sound in sleep mode (and the app is still running without rendering)
Is there a workaround without changing too much codes?
P.S. My project uses qt.
P.S.2 I can remote debug on my windows8.1 tablet but it is difficult to code on that tablet..

VFP App gets This app can't run on your PC running Terminal Services on Windows 2012

I've got a VFP 9 SP2 app that is running on a Windows 2012 server via Terminal Services.
Sporadically the users will get the message "This app can't run on your PC".
Any idea what causes this? This is a 32-bit app running on a 64-bit server. We've tried setting the shortcut to run in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3 and it still has this problem.
Usually rebooting the server will fix this, but surely there has to be a configuration solution?

Windows Phone 8 Emulator is not running. It was running before uninstall the Oracle Virtual Machine

I am working in windows phone 8 app. My windows phone 8 emulator was working properly but it stopped working when i installed the Oracle Virtual Machine for learn something by it but when i tested my windows phone app than app was successfully build but Windows phone 8 emulator was not loading. Than what i did, i opened Hyper-V Manager and started emulator and kept the checkpoints during running emulator. My checkpoint Steps i am writing .
1) Windows icon visible and took 2 minutes to invisible.
2) Blank screen visible continuously.
3) It automatically closed.
I tried to run wp8 emulator from my app as well as Hyper-V manager many times. But all wasted. :(. Need helpful suggestion and solution to resolve it.
Firstly me should not say its answer. Because it was the last option for me. It was uncertainty that my problem will be solve or not but now its solved.I just uninstalled my WP8 SDK and re-installed and restarted my laptop its working fine now. Thank God, i wasted much time but i learned a lot about the Hyper-V during fixing this issue.

Remote Debugging not working. "Unable to attach to process. The RPC server is not available."

My development workstation is running VS2012 Update 1. The OS is Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1 x64. I have a laptop running Windows 8 onto which I've installed the VS2012 Remote Debugger. I've started msvsmon and it's quietly sitting in the system tray or what passes for it on Windows 8.
I have set up a breakpoint in VS2012 at a location where I need to do some debugging. In VS2012, I click on Debug | Attach to Process... I get the dialog showing the list of processes running on my machine. I change the machine name to the name of the Laptop.
I am having two different problems:
Problem 1:
With Windows Firewall running, VS2012 connects to the remote debugger server. I see the list of the processes running on the Laptop. I choose the one I want to debug and click Attach. I get "Unable to attach to process. The RPC server is not available."
What's going on here?
Problem 2:
I turn off Windows Firewall on my desktop. When I try to connect to the process running on the laptop, it connects and loads all of the symbols. So far so good. Once all of that is finished, I perform the action that would cause my breakpoint to be hit. The process on the remote machine freezes, but so does VS2012. I've sat here as long as 10 minutes waiting with no change. At that point, I kill msvsmon on the remote machine and my program goes away with it, but VS is still locked up.
Any ideas??
I have faced a similar issue in VS 2013 showing the message "Unable to attach to process. The RPC server is not available".
I have resolved this by un-checking the "Use Managed Compatibility Mode" option from Debug > Options and Settings > General Tab.
