Solitaire closes after each game finishes

I have the same problem!

If I run into a problem during the daily challenge and a second commercial runs before I am finished, the Win 10 Solitaire collection window, all too often, CRASHES and CLOSES on me!

June 13, 2018 was the most recent time this happened. The dairy queen commercial ran before I had finished, the window grayed out, a "waiting/buffering" small rotating blue circle appeared, then the window CLOSED!

When I re-opened the ms solitaire collection, ANOTHER advertisement ran, stuttering/freezing while it played. It did NOT finish before I was allowed to play the Klondike solitaire for the day. I finished that in less than two minutes, then ANOTHER ADVERTISEMENT
played before I was allowed to play freecell, the last of the day's challenges! ( I had finished Pyramid, Tri-peaks, and Spider BEFORE the window CRASHED!)

Another comment. Microsoft seems to have added a 1/2 to one second delay between playing games in the solitaire collection, presumably to push their small ads.

There are two elapsed timers: The one that counts towards your Events score (and determines your place at the finish) is the total time spent actually playing each game. It doesn't matter how many times you take a break or how long you wait in between games.

The cumulative time, which shows up on the lower right of the screen before you look at the entire group finishers, is the time it took from when you started the first game until you finished the final game. It doesn't show up in the rankings but I think
that may be a tie breaker if two people finish with the same score and game-time.

Whenever you take a break from Events, be certain that you either finish the current challenge or cancel it, and to be sure I usually close Solitaire until I come back. If you walk away with a game open, the away time will count as playing
time as well as total elapsed time.

UPDATE!! I rebooted my PC, after the previous installation of Microsoft Mahjong, launched Microsoft Mahjong and opened OK. I launched Solitaire & Casual Games from within Mahjong, and it opened OK! It didn't work before the reboot, but now it did. Thank you!! I already closed and opened Solitaire & Casual Games and it continues working fine.

Most of the ads have a blue bar and then a close button but solitaire and bingo ads don't and these are causing the game to close. Please fix

Thanks, I will try that approach and see how it works.
