Hey @luniluni3012 

Since Star Wars: Jedi Knight is quite an old game and you want to run it on Windows 10, you can check out the steps listed before. They should help with optimising the game for a newer OS 

• Disable Origin in-game.
• Run the program in the compatibility mode with Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
• Install DirectPlay
   

  • Press the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt) and the R key at the same time.

  • In the Open box, type Control Panel and click OK.

  • Select Programs.

  • Click on Turn Windows Features on or off and turn on the DirectPlay feature in this new window.

• Activate DirectDraw or Direct3D.
• Install older VC++ packages. In this case: vc2005sp1 - you will find them in \Origin Games\Jedi Academy\__Installer\vc\vc2005sp1.

Let us know if anything helped

The very first thing - unchecking Origin in-game - worked for me. Brilliant, thanks.
