1) Find your install folder and then locate the "eqgame.exe" file
2) Right click on the file and select "Create shortcut"
3) Find the "eqgame.exe - Shortcut" file and right click on it and select "Properties"
4) In the "Target" text box after all the text (after any quotes if there are any) insert a space and then "patchme" (don't include the quotes)
5) In the same screen click on the "Compatibility" tab
6) In the "Compatibility mode" section check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" check box and then find the "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" option in the drop down and select it.
7) On that same tab under the "Settings" section check the "Run this program as an administrator" box then click the apply button and after that the ok button.
8) Now only use this shortcut to start the game
If that doesn't work you can try other compatibility modes but from personal experience (I'm also running windows 10) this worked just fine. Note that I did put the Everquest folder in the root of my main drive first but I don't think that should matter (C:\EverQuest is where I put mine).
