    Minesweeper on a PC


    48 hours ago, the Microsoft Minesweeper Daily Challenge ceased to load. I can sign in, but it crashes to Desktop, when you click on one of the challenges.

    Is this a known problem?

    :)

    Minesweeper on PC is better than MW3 on any platform.

  3. Minesweeper Adventure stopped without warning when I went back to desktop to check email

    Playing Minesweeper Adventure, I'd suspended the game overnight at Level 15 by pressing 'Sleep' on the PC.

    Back this morning, PC resumed OK into Minesweeper Adventure. Played a couple more hours, up to Level 34, ~2 million points, great, thought I'd best check email.

    Used the Windows key to bring up the Start screen, clicked Desktop. Checked email in already running client (Thunderbird).

    Then tried to get back to Minesweeper with Alt-Tab - to my horror it just wasn't there ;-(

    My score from the abandoned game is recorded on my profile but there was just no warning that it was shutting down.

    Mahjong suddely freezes on start

    As of today (PC had been off and now restarted) the same happens to Minesweeper.

    What changed the day before yesterday at Mahjong and somewhere in the last, say, 10 to 12 hours at Minesweeper?

    Accept Terms of Service in Minesweeper

    If you need to clear your account within Minesweeper, first close the game, then disassociate your Account from Windows PC Settings. R-associate it then launch Minesweeper again and it should use that account.

    Why won't minesweeper start?

    Hello KippOW,my name is Vanessa, I will be happy to help you.

    I understand that you are having problems starting Minesweeper on two different PCs. There are a few things you can try to fix this problem:

    Make sure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Minesweeper. The minimum system requirements for Minesweeper are as follows:

    Windows 10 or Windows 11
    1 GHz or higher processor
    1GB RAM
    200 MB free disk space
    Try starting Minesweeper in safe mode.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Press the Windows key and type "msconfig."

    Press the Enter key.

    Select the "Services" tab.

    Check the "Hide all Microsoft services" box.

    Click the "Disable All" button.

    Click the "Apply" button.

    Click the "OK" button.

    Restart your PC.

    Once your PC has restarted, try starting Minesweeper.

    If it starts correctly, it means that a third-party service was interfering with Minesweeper.

    To fix this issue, you will need to identify the problematic service and disable or uninstall it.

    Update your drivers. Drivers are small programs that allow your PC to communicate with the hardware.

    If your drivers are outdated, they may cause problems with Minesweeper. To update your drivers, visit the website of the manufacturer of your PC or hardware device.

    Restore your PC to a previous point.

    If you have performed a system restore point in the last few days, you can restore your PC to that point to fix the problem.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    Press the Windows key and type "system restore."

    Press the Enter key.

    Select the restore point you want to use.

    Click the "Next" button.

    Follow the instructions on the screen.

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Vanessa.

    Microsoft Minesweeper kraschar [Translation - Microsoft Minesweeper crashes]

    Thanks for your help. I shall not reset my PC, as weighing the possibility to maybe be able to play the game is not worth the hassle to reset or reinstall Windows.

    My guess is that the problem is in Minesweeper.
