Minesweeper crashing on Adventure...

Since applying Win 8.1 update, I have issues with Minesweeper Adventure mode. As noted in above post, it crashes back to Desktop while loading. The only way I could get Adventure to load was to un- and re-install Minesweeper app. I have done this about 3
times already.

No big deal except you LOSE all saved data from previous Minesweeper Adventure game!!! And that stinks when you were on a roll and on your 150+ game..!

ALSO.... I have had to re-install Solitaire Suite only once since update to 8.1 ... Same issue, crashes back to Desktop while loading.

Hi all.

I'm having the same problem. I hope I can provide some information to help track down the issue.

I was running a desktop app that was processing a video format conversion in the background. I was playing Minesweeper Adventure mode while that was being done.

Minesweeper suddenly closed and I was taken to the desktop. There was a pop up dialog on the desktop to show the format conversion had completed.

I closed the dialog and went back to continue with the minesweeper game. Minesweeper was not in the running apps so I clicked into games then selected minesweeper then adventure.

This was the first time it showed the crash. The loading flag waved then froze and I was returned to the desktop. (My default start screen)

Now, every time I try to run adventure mode on my main administrator profile the same happens.

* This was the profile in use when the crash first happened.

* All other modes work fine.

We have 3 users on this laptop. The adventure mode runs fine for the other standard users so there's clearly no problem with the app itself.

I suspect that on the main profile some temporary files have been left in a state that is causing the crash when the app tries to reload them.

Perhaps someone can let us know where the Minesweeper Adventure app stores temporary files so we can try deleting them ?

I went back through it yesterday. Checked for all the updates, uninstalled, reinstalled, did everything by the outlined procedure... played fine. Yesterday. Today it crashes again.

There is more than one bug in this game. When you reinstall, the first time you use Minesweeper Adventure you are given some huge number of lives. For the first level only. I've had numbers as high as 62 hearts... yesterday it was only 18.

And can someone explain to me why an adventurer would say, "Yay! I've found the stairs to the next level! I'm throwing this knife away!"???

Sorry for the delay.

I just tested this again. I logged out of my Xbox Live account and into the generic "Games" account. Minesweeper Adventure mode still works.

But in my Xbox account it does not. I get the green screen for a few seconds and then back to the Start screen. Hovering the mouse in the left hand corner shows Minesweeper running, but if I bring it back it drops back to the main screen.

Adventure is still a no go for me.

Ditto, I have been having the same issue with Minesweeper Adventure failing to load on Windows 8.1. It worked for a while after upgrading to 8.1.

I have tried reinstalling the app and it worked for a couple of days then the fault returned. Have also tried a system restore and the same.
