How do I update my MS Solitaire Collection? (Windows 8.1)

I just updated my Lenovo W510 to 8.1 and now I'm seeing this jerkiness in the Solitaire collection. There doesn't appear to be any update for the solitaire collection in Windows Store. Any update on when an update that returns the smooth animation?

After the automatic update of Windows 8 operating system to Windows 8.1 can no longer play Microsoft Solitaire Collection or Microsoft Jigsaw, how can I solve this problem?

Hi SonyaSatterwhite,

Thanks for reaching out! We went ahead and
split your thread to help you resolve this issue with updating your Microsoft Solitaire Collection for Windows 8.1.

As you're having difficulty getting the MS Solitaire Collection to update, I recommend following the steps for doing so from the

Microsoft Casual Games FAQ/Support page under the header "How do I check for game updates? (Windows 10 and 8.1)" to see if this then allows you to continue with your Daily Challenges.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

I hope that this helps you out!

Ever since my 8.1 update, the graphics in MS Solitaire are a mess. It appears like a serious driver error. I see a recommendation to roll back my driver. However, why would anyone want to roll to an earlier driver for Solitaire. Why can't Microsoft fix
their software to work with 8.1? The problems came with 8.1, roll back the 8.1 to 8.0 interface.

Also, my MS Mahjong quit working all together. It starts to load, the gif spins, but it never loads and goes back to the games screen. Again, this came with 8.1. Don't get me wrong, I love the updates 8.1, just the interface with the MS games. Haven't
been able to enjoy them for a month or so now.

By the way, in the message dated 11/27/2013 announcing there was an update to the MS Solitaire collection, there is a link to a Facebook group. The link does not work, says the group does not exist. Chickened out huh?

I have now checked 6 other Windows 8/8.1/8.1 update computers. All of them have the Solitaire Collection installed. 4 of the 6 show the same problem, namely the app crash in my original post. Please fix this problem!
