completely new to this, wanted to try out and make a few maps that myself and my husband can play on. i downloaded the latest version of the editor, when i try to open it goes into starting mode and just closes itself.

nevermind i figured out the issue, its not compatible with windows 10. wish i would have known that ahead of time wouldn't have even bothered.

No - the GE runs very well under Win10.
Your specific system properties and settings cause the problems.
Very often inappropriate installation, cloud storage, some anti-malware programs, insufficient user rights, ... inhibit the GE.
Learn more by googling or visiting Windows user forums.

When I ran a comparability scan on it after an hour of it trying to open and just shutting down said it wasn't compatible with my computer.

You need to learn such Windows crap.
What it says is "not compatible with your current configuration/settings".
For all users the GE runs very fine under Win10. Preconditioned suitable hardware and software configuration.

First at all check the GE logfile {USER}\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor ...\editor_log.txt
Very probably you'll get further infos about failures.

I have Win10 Professional, i went in to update the driver for my graphics and it is telling me that the most up to date drive is already installed on my PC. so i have no clue what to do from there.

It's just what the error message says:
The Intel HD Graphics 4600 doesn't support the required OpenGL 4.5.
For more infos google "intel hd 4600 opengl".

Ahoj chci se zeptat jestli nikdo neví co s tim mám giants editor a zapl jsem ho a najednou se mi to nechce otevřít hlavní okno a furt to píše neodpovídá tak se ptám jestli někdo s tim něco neví. Zkusil jsem to i smazat a znova stáhnout a nefunguje to.
