Has anybody been able to get this game running on Win10? I've tried a million different suggestions found online but nothing seems to work, the game window gets scrunched to the right lower corner of my monitor regardless of what I do. I'm not even going to list everything I've tried because it would take me forever but suffice it to say that I've just given up at this point and will play it on my ancient XP laptop.

A quick google turned up
https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/nwn1_andor_nwn2_windows_10

Highlights:
Try renaming nwnmain.exe to something else, like nwngame.exe and launch
directly from that.

and

You need to install it anywhere other than C:\ProgramFiles.....

No idea if this actually works since I still run win7.

Good Luck

Been there, done that and plenty more - nothing seems to work. I have a 
laptop with dual GPU's (a dedicated nVidia 860M 1GB and Intel HD5x) and 
I've tried every thing I could think of/find with both GPU's but no go.

No biggie, but thank you for the suggestions anyway.

Can you disable the Intel GPU entirely? 
Just thinking that if the game is detecting that, it may be refusing to
run even though it might be able to using the nvidia GPU, just because
of the presence of a GPU it knows isn't capable.

Never underestimate stupid programmer tricks.

Yeah it was one of the first things I've tried (even though the Intel HD should be more than capable of running this 2002 game). Tried the opposite as well, still no go. I see lots of people with mobile Intel/nVidia GPU's complaining about the same problem, apparently no solution has been found yet.

I realize this will be no help, but I had this game installed and running 
under XP, upgraded to Win 7, and later to Win 10, and it has kept running 
fine. I have made no compatibility adjustments for it at all.

I could send you my nwconfig.ini if you thought it might help at all.

Best,
            Mark.

Are you by any chance also running a laptop with an Intel/nVdia GPU
combo? If you're not it will probably be a waste of your time.

In the unlikely event that you are:

Thanks in advance, Mark.
