So I tried to replay Commandos 2 (Not the HD Remaster) on my laptop (Which is of Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Family).
I installed it, and... I couldn't even get to the main menu. It always went to 'Measuring Performance', then on this screen the audio for Eidos Interactive played, and then it stopped. And stayed on 'Measuring Performance' until Restarting the game. Even when starting again, it kept happening - but with a cursor in place of 'Measuring Performance'.

I tried it on latest version of the game from 27.01.2020, I tried it on older Build from 2017, I even tried out 'Kolekcja Klasyki: Commandos Antologia' I happen to have. It always ended as described above.

Did I miss something?

Troubleshooting with Commandos Series on Windows 10

Commandos Behind Enemy Lines

1. Game doesn't run

- Go to game folder and rename the executable file:
commandos.exe instead of original comandos.exe

2. Stuttering Gameplay (the same works for Commandos BTCOD exe file)

- If you have Nvidia GPU, run Nvidia Control Panel / Manage 3D Settings / Program Settings
- Browse for Commandos.exe and add it to your list of programs
- Disable as many settings as you can
- Select your main GPU on "OpenGL rendering GPU" option

3. Savegames
- Use Wordpad to edit "comando.cfg" file in OUTPUT folder.
The last 3 lines must be as follow:

.SIZE [ .INITSIZE 3 ]
.PROFILE [ .USER 0 ]
.DEVELOP 1

Commandos 2 working on Win10

1. Open Settings / Apps / Apps & Features / Open Default app settings / Related Settings - Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features On or Off
2. Turn on Direct Play from Legacy Components
3. Create a direct access to Comm2.exe file, right click on it and select compatibility tab. Check the following options:
- Run compatibility mode with Windows 98/Windows ME
- Run this program as an administrator

That's the way I've managed to run it.
