    Microsoft Minesweeper only in full screen


    This has happened after the fall update to Windows 10 (1511) and Microsoft Minesweeper cannot now be placed in a desktop window. Microsoft Treasure Hunt seems to replicate the adventure part of Minesweeper but achievements aren't passed over. It's very
    annoying for the daily challenges to work only in full screen. Please correct this.

    :)

    Since the fall windows 10 update, minesweeper now will only do full screen. Please fix this quickly.

    Absolutely. Forcing Minesweeper to full screen on a 25" desktop monitor is ridiculous.

    Microsoft Minesweeper only in full screen

    Hi Chris,

    As this sounds more like feedback than an issue we can resolve for you, please suggest it on the Xbox Feedback site as this increases the likelihood it may get implemented in future.

    MineSweeper not available in Italy

    Unfortunately it is not 😞

    Even if the app is translated in Italian, as show here

    apps.microsoft.com/.../ROW

    it is not searchable in the windows store or by opening the link in the windows store shows nothing.

    as per the crash, it doesn't actually crashes, no error messages are shown, but it simply goes "in the background": while minesweeper is loading, the screen suddenly goes back to the start screen even if the app is still running (by swiping from left it
    brings back the app -minesweeper- but after a few seconds the screen goes back to the start menu). The app never loads 😞

    Could it be because till windows 7 we had a different version of minesweeper in Italy called "prato fiorito" (flower fields)?

    thanks in advance

    Adventure boot out and reinstalling - good news

    Right-click on Minesweeper and click Uninstall.

    To reinstall you can search for it with Games or Store, or just start typing the word Minesweeper at the Start menu screen.

    Same issue for me! Once update from win8 pro to win8.1 pro, minesweeper always crashes on start. Green screen with minesweeper and MS logo, and then back to desktop.
