Microsoft Solitaire Collection is no longer playable. Screen flickers on both game and Ads.

Hello did you check and make sure that its not a subscriptions that you have to buy yearly?

**Windows 10 comes with the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, a solitaire game
that requires you to watch 30-second-long full-screen video advertisements to keep playing. Ad-free solitaire costs $1.49 per month or
$9.99 per year. That’s $20 per year if you want both ad-free solitaire and ad-free minesweeper.
But there’s a better way.**

Wanted to play the daily challenge games of the Microsoft Solitaire Collection 6/23/15. Clicked on the Tri-Peaks icon first. As usual, an ad started to play, but it stopped with just a black screen and froze. I uninstalled the game and restarted my computer.
I then re-installed the collection and the same thing happened. I rebooted the computer today 6/24/15 and an ad came up and froze the screen black. Down at the bottom of the black screen you see a time bar set to 00 and an opportunity to upgrade to no ads.
I tried playing the Jigsaw games and they worked fine. It's just the Microsoft Solitaire Collection for me so far. Please find a fix!!!

Microsoft solitaire Collection plays all adds but will not load the game. message on screen is-( we are having some trouble connecting to the internet to download Microsoft solitaire collection data)

The Solitaire Collection ran just fine yesterday. It showed the ad, you viewed the ad, then used the "X" in the top right corner, which brought you back to the solitaire game you were trying to play. Today, after the ad runs, it automatically takes you
to the Microsoft store. When you exit the store it brings you back to the solitaire game but runs another ad, then brings you to the Microsoft store. This happens repeatedly and you can't get past the ad to play the game. I'm wondering if the free version
of these games is going to not longer be available, or if MS is planning to fix this issue.

I have the same issue. One day away from world solitaire day and they screw up all the games in the collection. The title above the game screen flickers, as does hte task bar icon. But you can't move the cards and play th e game.
