    Microsoft Minesweeper is great game but is a resource hog on Intel UHD Graphics 630. Any...


    I have seen a report on this issue from 2017. The idea was to rollback the driver to an older version to fix the issue. Apparently this worked. However, this was 8 years ago. Why has there not been a fix applied yet to update the compatibility of the game with modern drivers?

    The issue is that it uses 100% of my computer resources, causes screen flickering, and lags. It's such a simple game, it should not be this way. Considering it is one of the original games Microsoft provided their Windows system, you would think they would spend even a little time to ensure it and solitaire and their other basic games works efficiently on their systems. Especially considering how they have made strides to commit that their systems would be energy efficient to "save the planet".

    Call of duty on Surface Pro crashing

    Hi,

    The integrated graphics hardware in your Surface Pro isn't officially supported for this game.

    The Intel UHD graphics solutions 610, 620 and 630 are not meant for graphic intensive games such as Call of Duty.

    No Man's Sky on PC via XBox Beta App, Game runs impossibly slowly, is it meant to run on via XBox Beta?

    I can't play No Man's Sky on PC via your XBox Beta App (I own the game). PC is top spec, 16Gb RAM, Intel i5 CPU, 630 Intd
    Hi,

    A PC with only an integrated Intel HD graphics 630 is far from 'Top Spec' as Robin H 25 has already pointed out.

    I've not seen this game running directly on a HD 630, but I have seen it on an HD 620. Needless to say, it wasn't great, barely able to get to the region of 30 fps even with everything at low @ 800x600. Believe me, it won't be much better on a 630. Sorry.
