Minesweeper Direction

I'm experiencing the same sound problems you're describing, both with Solitaire and Minesweeper. I have an NVidia graphics card (GT430) with the latest graphics and HD audio drivers direct from NVidia.

Same problem here on my Sudoku and Minesweeper. Also a Surface Pro 4 i5 256mb owner. I need to be able to sign in to clear my daily tasks!

chatting with Xbox and they directed me to Windows 10 team and no one has a solution yet...

I only had minesweeper, I have loaded mahjong, it plays ok. Minesweeper still immediately fails to the error code

Cheers

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.

Hello CarTzy,

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Something interesting/new/strange to me happened as I was trying out each Solution/suggestion.

For each solution, from 1 to 3, I would follow the instructions and then try loading Minesweeper. The result was the same: nothing changed. I then closed Minesweeper. I then moved on to the next solution.

I did the same for solution 4 except that I forgot to close Minesweeper. I started to write a detailed description of my efforts to post as this reply. A short time later, when I returned to try solution 5, I noticed that I had not closed minesweeper. When I clicked the icon, I found that Minesweeper was open. Not only that, I played a couple of the daily challenges.

I then closed Minesweeper and shut down the Microsoft Solitaire Collection. I next opened Microsoft Solitaire Collection, clicked on Minesweeper and waited. The big white opening window appeared but nothing else happened. I waited. After a few minutes the intro page disappeared and the game options appeared. I played one or two and then shut down Minesweeper. I then repeated that process several times: start Minesweeper, wait until the game options appear, play one or two options, shut down Minesweeper. I repeated that 5 more times, but timing each process. The times between the appearance of the opening window and its disappearance – and the ability to play Minesweeper – ranged from 1:20 to 3:01. I have repeated the process several times and it always eventually brings up the Minesweeper options.

So, thanks for your efforts to help but I think something else may be happening. I have no idea. Do you or any other readers?

Thanks again.
