Another error 002000 on Windows 8.1

Yesterday I created a new user account, installed Mahjong, Solitarie Collection (error 002000) and Schuffle Party (error -2101608440) and, unfortunately, there are the same errors as Cody in my main account. That means no access to daily challenges to games.

Hello, I dont know if this works with everyone but my computer clock keeps resetting on the desktop screen. So I have changed it to the correct time and click back on Microsoft Solitaire Collection, then on the daily challenge and it works again. Now I have
to figure out why my clock keeps resetting.

am having the same problems, error 002000, can't sign in to daily challenges for Mah Jong and Tap Tiles since yesterday.

I too had the same error code . I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it , since than it has worked good. i had the same happen on two other dailies and did the same as before , Now the only time i have any trouble, is when the server is being worked
on. than all that can be done is to wait a few minutes or so and they will work again. Also make sure your F.W. is set to let the app. through. Dont drop the F.W. just add the app.

This is a tricky issue because it comes, resolves itself, and comes back usually after a Windows Update is pushed out to the public. In this case, we are able to trace this back to a series of Windows Updates that were pushed out on April 8th.

These are all the steps we know to try which resolve most of the issues. I've put them in order from easiest to most difficult (depending, of course, on your familiarity with computers)

Restart Your PC/Tablet



Did you know that shutting down your PC/Tablet WILL NOT give you a clean boot? Most people don't, so no worries. The ONLY way you can get a clean reboot is to choose restart from the shut down menu. Physically turning your PC/Tablet off will
not do it, choosing "shut down" will not do it, choosing "sleep" will not do it.

Steps:

1. Go to your Shut Down menu (you can get it to it by pressing the Windows key, type Restart, click on Turn off Your PC, go to the bottom of the Settings window that will appear & press the Power button)
   
2. Select "Restart" from the menu

Make Sure Xbox Isn't Down



Sometimes the Xbox network goes down. To check this, go to
http://www.xbox.com and log in with your account. Click on Support.

On the Support Page, you will see a link near the top that says "Xbox Service is Up" or "Xbox Service is Limited" or "Xbox Service is Down" If service is limited or down, you may not be able to log into your game until the service is fixed.

You can also go to http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

Make Certain Your Windows Updates Didn't Get "Stuck"



Did you know that even if you have Automatic Updates selected, some Windows Updates can get "stuck" for various reasons? Lots of people (myself included) have discovered much to their surprise that some Windows Updates just simply
didn't go through like we thought they did and it affects the performance of the entire machine.

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type in Windows Update
3. Under the search bar you see on the right, choose Check for Updates
4. In the Windows Update screen, press the Check Now button
5. Even if it doesn't seem to find any updates, click on View Details
6. Install any updates you see that haven't been installed - including optional ones
   
7. Go to your Shutdown menu and choose 'Restart' from the options. You must choose restart- turning your PC/tablet off will not work!
   

Uninstall & Reinstall with a Clean Windows Store Cache

1. Uninstall Microsoft Solitaire Collection (to uninstall, right-click on the app icon and choose Uninstall from the bottom menu)
   
2. Press Windows Key and R
3. In the box that pops up, type wsreset.exe and press Enter
4. The Windows Store will launch for you (with its cache nice and clean!)
5. Hover over the right-hand side to bring up the charm bar and go to Settings
6. In the Settings Menu, go to App Updates
7. In the App Updates menu, press both Check for Updates AND Sync Licenses
8. Press the arrow key at the top left to go back
9. In the search bar at the right, type in Microsoft Solitaire Collection
10. Reinstall Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Make Sure Your Firewall/Anti-Virus Isn't Blocking The Apps

Unfortunately this step varies by whatever anti-virus or firewall you use. You will need to open your settings and make sure that it is not blocking any apps. If your anti-virus/firewall has an app "whitelist", you will need to make sure your Xbox enabled
games are on this list.



Clear Your Disk Cache

1. Close Solitaire using ALT+F4 while it is running
2. Open up Windows File Explorer
3. Click the "View" tab at the top
4. Check the box that says "Hidden Items"
5. Go to the following folder: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\[GAMENAME]\LocalState\
   
6. [USERNAME] – is the name you use to log in to the computer
7. [GAMENAME] – is something with Solitaire in the name. Something like this for example:
   
8. Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection_8wekyb3d8bbwe
9. Delete the folder DiskCache.
10. Run Microsoft Solitaire Collection again.
