Installed games won't Launch properly

So, I've installed maybe 6 different games, all visual novels, on my computer. They were all installed the same way, through the itch.io app, but some of them run perfectly fine, have for days, and others won't let me play or even show up on the screen after I push the launch button. I've waited more than 10 minutes for ultiple games and all the app will say is that the game is in fact running, but nothing pops up from the game (the same problem has happened with 4 different games now, so I think it's a connected problem rather than one game). Half the games I install will still work perfectly fine and the other half will do nothing after launch. I've tried reinstalling the games that wouldn't run, but nothing seems to change. Any thoughts?

What platform are you on? Can you share the games that you’re having issues with? You may have to reach out to the developers to learn more about debugging the problem.

I'm on Windows (10 I believe) and I assumed it wasn't a development problem. All the games were from different developers, so I assumed it had to be something I was doing or something with my computer (not discounting what you're saying, just explaining my thoughts). Two of the games were Monstrata Fracture and The Heart of Tales. I don't remember the others, I think I must have assumed I couldn't play them and deleted them from my collections.
