I understand the game is not necessarily supported for Windows 10, but I'm wondering if anyone has Settlers 3 working on Windows 10? Whenever I try to run it I get "DirectDraw Error DDERR_UNSUPPORTED occured at CDirectDraw::DDSetDisplayMode" Have tried the different compatibility options in the .exe properties, and have tried disabling the intro video and other settings in the game's setup app. Any help would be appreciated.

Try enabling DirectPlay.

In the Control Panel (not Settings), go to Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on and Off. Open the Legacy Components section and tick DirectPlay.

Thanks for responding, but enabled DirectPlay and there was no change.
