Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Forum.
I understand that you are not able to open NFS most wanted 2023. This issue can be caused due to third party software conflicts.
Please follow the methods below to fix the issue.
Method 1: Perform Clean Boot to avoid any third party software conflict.
Putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.
If the issue still persists, I would suggest running the program in compatibility mode.
Method 2: Run the program in compatibility mode
Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:
a. Right click the set up file and select Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab
b. Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode box.
c. Tap or click the drop down box and select a previous Operating System, then tap or click OK.
For reference:
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
Hope the information is helpful. Please revert with the status of the issue, we will be glad to assist you further.
