Downloaded Sudoku but program won't open

Yes, the last 2 days, Sudoku won't open or closes unexpectedly. What's up?

Sudoku keeps looping back to start screen, will not open sudoku games for the last 3 to 4 days

Greetings HildaBrown2,

Let me provide some resources to help but please keep in mind the following items:

• Have you double checked that all your apps are up to date? Specifically, if the game services is application is out of date it can cause this.
  
  • You can use this article for help on how to update your apps: Update App on Windows | Windows Support
    
• The same can go for Windows, ensure it is updated as well.
  
  • Update Windows | Windows Support
    

Try the above first, if you are still having problems then you can follow these instructions

1. Repair and reset the Xbox App and Gaming Services.
   
   • Open the Settings app on your computer and go to Apps, then find the Xbox app.
     
   • Next, click Advanced Options, then scroll down the list and click Repair (let it repair) then click Reset (let it reset)
     
   • Now repeat for Gaming Services and the Microsoft Store.
     
2. Check the core services that run in the background which provide the Xbox app, and Game Pass all their functionality and connectivity.
   
   • Open the Start menu, search Services then open Services. Scroll down the list and find all of the Xbox entries (they are near the bottom).
     
   • Gaming Services (There are 2 of them)
     
   • Xbox Accessory Management Service
     
   • Xbox Live Auth Manager
     
   • Xbox Live Game Save
     
   • Xbox Live Networking Service
     
   • When you find them right-click on them and select Start. If you can see that they are already running, you can skip them.

While playing Sudoku the ad now just opens up and runs = cutting into my game - I then have to stop - very annoying. Just started after the updates were downloaded last night

Hello! It still rotates even with the rotation lock on when I open sudoku .
