Visual Studio 2013 executables run in Windows 8.1 but not in Windows 10
I have a Visual Studio 2013 solution with 2 C++ projects that implement Windows Sockets, one is the Client and the other is the Server. The Server is listening to a port and the Client asks to type something. When I type a message in the Client, it appears in the Server. I have performed this test in a Windows 8.1 PC. However, if I run this same executables in a Windows 10 PC, everything fails; what I type in the Client does not appear in the Server and the Client gets kind of frozen. Both Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 PCs have VS2013 installed. They are, in fact, 2 Windows 10 PC and 2 Windows 8.1 PCs, all of them with VS2013 installed. I tested in all of them. Also, I have compiled in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 PCs.
I will very much appreciate any clue about how to solve this issue. It is very important and urgent to get a solution as soon as possible.
I wonder if you need the code to try it yourself.

Change the target build option to Any CPU and check.
For both the project change the configuration property change as said above.

I have been searching "target build option" in VS2013 but I do not find where to set it.
I kindly ask you to provide feedback.
Best regards.

FYI: I don't have VS 2013. But hope it will help.
Do not select Solution. Select your project. This is very important.
Select Project Property->Configuration Property->Linker->Advanced
You can choose X86 if you have 32-bit dependencies.

These are the options I find.
Yes try for X86/X64
Also choose configuration as Release.

Can you keep some logs and debug it? Where exactly it hangs? Which function is doing so?
Keep logs in both sender(Client) and receiver(Server) side.
I have compiled in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 PCs.After compiling in Win 10, is it working in Windows 10?
You can directly keep break point and do a step by step debugging and check the problematic area.

I compiled in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 and the executbles do not run in Windows 10, only in Windows 8.1
