Hello,
thank you for reporting the issue. Launcher might create an error report on the desktop, could you please take a look if you have one on your desktop?
Also it would be very helpful to us if you could upload the Launcher logs here (here is how you can get them: http://arma.jiripolasek.com/howtos.html)

I bet this is beacuse software accelerating in launcher, but how to change this without launching editor - i'll try to find out

Hello,
try to start Launcher in the safe mode. Press and hold Ctrl+Shift as you start the game from Steam or desktop shortcut and hold it pressed until Launcher starts.
Alternative to this is the command line parameter: "-safemode".

I guess there was some update from microsoft (autoupdates) when this start occuring. BIS need to make bigger compatibility with win 10, and microsoft need to make bigger compatibility for all products - many users suffer for similar problems...

lunditic1,
could you please take a look into the Event Viewer, navigate to Windows Logs -> Application in the tree on the left and look for any error that occurred when you attempted to run the game?
Also please make sure that you DON'T have any compatibility settings set in properties of Launcher (arma3launcher.exe). We've learned that these compatibility settings tends to break Launcher, especially when Steam is involved (e.g. Launcher can be run directly from executable just fine, but fails when it is started by Steam).

i found the event viewer but I'm not 100 percent sure what I'm looking out for here, there are quiet a few errors and warnings. The only time I used the compatibility setting for Arma 3 was when Fighting Power suggested it as a solution
