Servers no longer host games.

Well it's not surprising that the official servers no longer exist considering that some of these games are 20 years old now and the company that made them and ran the servers, Westwood, was long ago absorbed by EA who notoriously don't actually care about gaming despite being a games publisher. But there are third party run servers for all of these games except C&C4, which does still seem to have official EA servers through Origin.
CNC Net is a great resource for patching the older C&C games (up to Red Alert 2) plus Dune 2000 to work online. The first three games (C&C, Red Alert and Tiberian Sun) have all been released as freeware so the installers will give you the option of patching the Origin release or a CD version or can just download the whole game for you. You have the option of downloading the multiplayer component separately so there's no need to get the single player campaigns if you just want to play online. For Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge you'll need the games already installed (from Origin or CD) as they're not freeware.
The more recent games (Generals, C&C3, Red Alert 3) used to use GameSpy, which was shut down in May 2014. Fortunately the Revora Network stepped up to provide new multiplayer support using a launcher over at CNC Online
See above for patches that will make the older games work on modern machines. There is even an open source project, OpenRA, that rebuilds C&C, Red Alert and Dune 2000 from scratch, meaning they can run natively even on Linux, which they were never originally developed for. Tiberian Sun is also in the works.
I've never had any problem playing it before and have just tried installing it again this evening under Windows 10 and it's working fine, zero issues or workarounds needed, and I can see other players in the multiplayer lobbies so I assume that works too. What issue(s) are you having?
That also works fine for me in Windows 10. I know some people have had issues with it but mostly it works so it's not Windows 10 itself at fault - could be a conflict with your particular setup, i.e. hardware or drivers. What problem are you having?

I just purchased and download C and C tiberium wars but can't get it to run on windows 10. Tried looking up issues and found about 5 different fixes and couldn't get any to help. Just a warning :disappointed:

I was going to ask have EA updated these to run on more modern machines? its seems even emulating older windows or DOSBOX is not a solution. even at this price your paying for something that doesn't work.

I got some of the older ones such as red alert to run but not the newer one. Yeah it does seem a bit unfair to sell a product that's not guna work for alot of people. Oh well had a couple of hours fun for £5 already tonight so can't complain too much :smiley:
