In Mahjong why does the Show Available Tiles not work correctly?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this knicknack121

Please answer the following questions to see how you can proceed:

Where are you experiencing this issue? On the mobile phone app or Windows?

When you started to experience this issue?

And, which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this?

Open window to Mahjong in Windows 8, then go to charms to see "show available tiles" in game options.

I am having the same problem. Mahjong is up-to-date on my Surface Pro, and I can't find "show available tiles" anywhere.

Hello, Temarpro my name is Oskayra I am independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

Unfortunately, the "Show All Tiles" feature in the Windows 11 version of Microsoft Mahjong currently only applies to the backgrounds and not the actual tile designs. This means you are only able to choose from the pre-loaded set of Oriental characters for the tiles.

While this might be frustrating for players who prefer different tile designs, there are no current workarounds or available mods to change this behavior. The ability to choose from various tile sets may be added in future updates, but there is no official confirmation from Microsoft.

Here are some suggestions while we wait for a potential update:

1. Provide feedback to Microsoft:

Use the Feedback Hub app on your Windows 11 system to let Microsoft know about your interest in additional tile design options.
The more users express their desire for this feature, the higher the chance it will be considered in future updates.
2. Explore alternative Mahjong games:

Many other Mahjong games available on Windows 11 offer a wider variety of tile designs and customizations.
Look for games that specifically mention "tile sets" or "customization options" in their descriptions.
3. Wait for potential future updates:

Microsoft occasionally releases updates for its built-in games, including Microsoft Mahjong.
Stay updated on the latest Windows 11 updates and check the changelog for any changes or improvements to Microsoft Mahjong.
While the current situation is limited in terms of tile design options, providing feedback and exploring alternative solutions can help improve your Mahjong experience. Remember, Microsoft is always listening to user feedback, and future updates might bring the desired features and customizations.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

Hello temarpro,



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It seems that there were changes of the tile set after upgrading to Windows 11. Let us check on how to change the tile set by following several steps.

Try following the steps below to change the tile set of your Microsoft Mahjong:

1. Open Microsoft Mahjong.

2. Click on the "Settings" icon in the top right corner of the screen.

3. Click on "Tileset" in the left-hand menu.

4. Select the tile set you prefer from the list of available options.

If you cannot change through the steps above, change the tiles for Microsoft Mahjong through the Theme settings of the game. Follow the steps below:

1. Launch the game.
   
2. Press F5 on your keyboard to show the settings.
   
3. Click on Themes and choose your preferred theme under Standard Themes.
   

If you don't see the tile set you prefer in the list, it may not be available in the version of Microsoft Mahjong you're using. In that case, you may want to try a different version of the game.





We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.
