Finally, A Solution to the Game-Breaking Glitch to Microsoft Treasure Hunt?!?

Hi! I posting this here since the Facebook group doesn't appear to give feedback. I'm hoping this will reach the right ears within Microsoft.

As you know, there is a game-breaking glitch within the game of Microsoft Treasure Hunt. Whenever the game is closed voluntary or shutdown involuntary, the player's progress as well the items he/she obtained will be lost for good. The player is then forced
to start all the way back to the very beginning to level 1 to start again. This is particularly heartbreaking as this game is really fun.

While working with the game, I confirmed reason on why the game often forces a shutdown. The longer any program remains open on Windows, the taxing it is to keep open, this is why, the more you progress, a noticeable lag starts to affect the gameplay.
The major reason the program starts to become taxing are the videos that are programmed to play whenever players enter the Bonus room. Videos are very resource hungry and, sooner than later, will force the game to close abruptly.

Well, I found a way in which the game will continue to keep my progress and my items, even if I am forced to close the game when I'm not finished. The solution: a) keep the game window at least half the size of the monitor one is playing on and b) keep
the game minimized in the Windows taskbar when not in play.

Keeping the game window small will help the program not get bogged down on needing so many resources to keep open. As for minimizing the game, I haven't fully figured out why, but often when I'm forced to reboot my PC for another Windows update or when
my screensaver inadvertently forces my game to close, each and every time, when I open the game back up again, my progress is still there, my items is still there and, most importantly, my patience is still there.

It's tough to have wait 3+ years for a solution on a glitch that frustrates so many players. My thinking is that a more readily accessible save-state would better serve the game and its players. But, until then, I recommend to try these to tips and see
if it works out for you.

*This works for PC users. For those with tablets, I don't know if the same solution applies.
