    Minesweeper keeps randomly closing


    Please help,

    Minesweeper keeps randomly closing on me. (Sometimes on load up, sometimes on the menu screen, sometimes on the Daily Challenges screen, sometimes after I complete a daily mission).

    It will quite often (almost always) close on me as I attempt to complete the Daily Challenges. I complete one mission, and it will automatically close, losing the reward of completing the mission.

    This has happened over multiple days, in which the computer has been turned on and off. I don't know how to fix this.

    Please help

    :)

    solved it by:

    2. Navigating (in file explorer) to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftMinesweeper_8wekyb3d8bbwe

    3. renaming LocalState (to LocalStateOld).

    4. starting minesweeper (error logging on to xbox live)

    5. start adventure, click past tutorial, close mine sweeper.

    I had already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game along with checking for general updates. The fixer came from going into Device Manager and checking for individual driver updates for the visual and audio components. That seemed to do the trick.

    Thank you for your help
