AppCompatibilityView provides you with a listing of all Windows programs that run with their accompanying compatibility settings.

You can use your system's compatibility mode to run applications in a compatibility setting. AppCompatibilityView is designed for those programs that are not totally compatible with newer versions of Windows and attempts to enable programs run with compatibility settings to work as intended.

AppCompatibilityView is intended to be a simple tool for quickly displaying the list of all programs that run with different compatibility settings and it also allows you to easily modify or delete those compatibility settings of multiple applications at once.

AppCompatibilityView compiles information from the Windows Registry stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers keys.

All programs are listed with the following details included:
