Windows 10 not compatible - wormblack - 10-12-2019
Which version of windows 10 will run hashcat?
When correctly trying to run i am met with a popup stating "This app cant run on your PC. To find a version for your computer check with the software publisher"

1. make sure that you run hashcat in cmd
2. make sure that you are using the correct windows binary (newer versions of hashcat only ship a 64-bit binary by default, so make sure that you have a 64-bit windows system or compile the 32-bit version yourself, older versions might work as well with the hashcat32.exe for 32-bit windows, but of course they are deprecated because of the old version)
older versions need the hashcat64.exe for windows 64-bit systems
newer versions only have a hashcat.exe for windows 64-bit systems
of course you shouldn't attempt to run the linux binaries (hashcat64.bin or hashcat.bin). This is only for linux systems

My system is 64bit but nothing seems to work correctly

your other posts imply that you already solved this problem:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-8715-post-46305.html#pid46305
you wouldn't be able to get that specific error message without being able to run hashcat.
btw: another common error of windows users is that they corrupt the binaries by for instance incorrectly copy-pasting some commands like "> hashcat64.exe -m"
this of course overrides the binary file (executable) and corrupts the whole hashcat installation or downloaded folder.
"> " is commonly used as a command prompt, but if you copy-paste and run it, it will act like a file redirector (write to the file to the right, in this case the file hashcat64.exe)
the only solution here is to re-download hashcat from https://hashcat.net and avoid doing mistakes like this (not overriding important files)
