Button controls on Windows10 look like flat rectangles while on Win7 like they should

I have done most of the development (conversion from VB 6) on Windows 7 in Visual Studio and the button controls look like 3D, as they should when I run it. But when I take the *.exe to Windows 10, I just see rectangles. What do I need to do to make them look decent on Windows 10?

One way:

Alternative:

Make your own button controls that do not use the current Windows theme for the style.

What do you mean by this? Do the buttons not show up or something?

They show up but look like plain rectangles. I can click them with the same effect but they don't look good.

That is because Windows 10 uses Microsoft's new "modern" look. It looked good to the Microsoft designers of that look. To most other users, not so much.
