  1. Minesweeper won't open


    Today, for the first time, when I tried to open Minesweeper I got a message that Minesweeper is not currently available in my account. An error message -- 0x803F8001 -- was included in the message. However, in the store, Minesweeper is listed as "installed".
    What gives?

    :)

    What is error code Ox803F8001

    I have the same problem on MS Mahjong, Jigsaw, and Minesweeper: Installed, ready to play, but won't let me open them. All of them worked last week.

    Ditto.

    I also tried uninstalling and it won't reinstall. The store gives the same error code: 0x803F8001

  5. This just started happening 2 days ago. Same thing. Tried to start game got same message and error code but XBox service was running and Windows shows that I "own" it. I uninstalled it because reinstalling games sometimes clears up some issues. But this
    time, when I tried to reinstall it, Windows tries and tries but says it is unable to do so at this time and will try again. I've reported it to Windows in their Feedback. Hope it's fixed soon.
