How to Fix ‘Parameter is not Valid’ BlueStacks error on Windows 10:
Working on the solution i found out that the main culprit behind this ‘Error: Parameter is not Valid’ message is the software compatibility problem. Simple workaround BlueStacks program compatibility mode problem led to the resolution of the problem. I have explain it in simple steps below but before that you should know what is program compatibility, its working and how it impacts software functioning.
Compatibility mode is the software structure that enables emulator tool to play new or outdated software, apps and programs that are incompatible with advanced hardware on PC/laptops. It also plays incompatible software on non-native PC platforms but if there is some problem with the compatibility mode it fails to load old or incompatible apps on PC. For this reason you can see solution in the step-by-step guide below.
