    Q: What are some of the features of Microsoft Minesweeper?

    A: Classic Mode

    Adventure Mode is a fresh take on a classic!



    Daily Challenges

    Xbox Live Integration

    any device without missing a beat!





    Q: Do I need to be connected to the Internet or Online to play?

    A: If you're planning to be in an area with no online coverage, such as a plane ride or a camping trip, you can prepare you Windows 10 device by placing it into offline mode. Visit the

    Q: When I launch the game, I can't sign in to Xbox Live. Does this matter?

    A: The short answer is yes. This prevents you from accessing your achievements, game progress and other game data saved in the cloud. If you can't sign in, you won't be able to save your progress or achievements. If you're having issues connecting to Xbox
    Live, see our
    Connecting to Xbox Live from a PC

    Hi there Marygme45,

    Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with Minesweeper. Unfortunately,
    here in forums we do not have the appropriate tools to help assist with in-game issues.

    I recommend trying the Minesweeper
    Forum support
    for more in-game assistance.According to our
    Microsoft Casual Games FAQ,
    Many issues can be solved by using this helpful tool.

    Hope this helps and let us know the results!

    microsoft minesweeper just crashes after the most recent updates for Win 10.

    Hi Julia,

    Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. You may wish to try the troubleshooting for Minesweeper and other casual games available in our Microsoft
    Casual Games FAQ
    too see if you're able to launch the game correctly. Alternatively, I would recommend reaching out to the

    Microsoft Casual Games community for Minesweeper on Facebook
    as well. They're very active on that page and would perhaps have further knowledge on how to assist you best.

    I hope that this helps out!
