Problems with Minesweeper

For some reason I am unable to play Minesweeper on my Windows 10 computer any more. It was fine yesterday, but today there is apparently a problem with my Microsoft account, which is odd because I can play Solitaire, including the daily challenges.. I have
the same problem with on my tablet. Has MS decided that Minesweeper isn't making them enough money? I noticed some weeks ago that the ads had stopped , a not unwelcome development in itself but one which had already caused me to wonder if the game had a
future.

If MS hassent Minesweeper to the great recycle bin in the sky I hope they will have the decency to tell us. Presumably anyone who paid to have an ad-free version will be entitled to some or all of their money back.

The answer according to the warning notice which appeared when I tried to open Minesweeper was to visit the Store. I did so but it didn't help. There was no sign of the game amongst the many others on offer,; when I did a search
for it I was told that it was already installed. There was no 'uninstall' option so I couldn't start again from scratch. Altogether a very unsatisfactory state of affairs. I understand that other operating systems are available, and will strongly recommend
that people new to computing start on one of those instead. Anyone know if there's a 64-bit version of CPM out there?

Login problems

Same here, also have no problems with Solitaire, Mahjong and Minesweeper.

 

Technical problems with Minesweeper

Have you ever been able to play Adventure mode? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

 

Ditto for me. Same situation with MS Jigsaw. I've been playing both for ages...what's up?

 

Same for me too. Problem with Microsoft Account prevents the game playing etc.

I found a solution online suggesting uninstalling then reinstalling.

To uninstall, on my desktop I clicked 'Start', then the Minesweeper name & logo appeared at the top. I right-clicked and hit 'uninstall. This bit worked fine. I then went back to the store, found games and Windows Digital, searched 'minesweeper' - it is
there and comes up in the search. I then clicked 'install' but get the same error message and cannot reinstall.

I've had a bug in the adventure or explorer but, where you go through levels and avoid traps etc. where I couldn't see the right-hand side of the game. So I stopped playing it.

I have posted onto the Store feedback page, but this will probably do no good.

I have also recently had to uninstall the 'Solitaire Collection', as when on daily challenges, I would start maybe my third or fourth game, and the screen would just be blank (pale off-white). Haven't bothered to reinstall.

 

Yes I too have same problems with both but my other Microsoft games work fine

 

Same problem with minesweeper. Does anyone from Microsoft ever reply to these concerns?

 

I too have the same problem.
