Which Windows version, do you recall? I'm curious to know what game.
I wanna say Windows 95? The game was barely a game, and I recall the graphics were especially primitive even for the time (think something you'd do in paint in like an hour total). Can't remember what it was called though... Pretty sure it was just in a folder and I found it just randomly browsing files.
It was just looking out from the cockpit of a spaceship (think like that typical white dots flying by a black background) and using the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff that popped up (flying saucers maybe? Honestly can't remember). I don't even think there were levels or anything beyond that, can't even remember if there was a score. There was no flying/controlling the ship either.
Other comment mentioned Hover!, I was thinking maybe the original Incoming game.
Not OP, but I'm going to take a guess that it was Hover
