What Happened To Minesweeper Adventure?

Timbo562 · Jun 11, 2023

I fired up my Minesweeper game on my Windows 11 PC the other day (6/8/23 I think) to find that the game loader interface was completely changed. When I attempted to play Minesweeper Adventure it just loaded a white splash screen and would go no further (the other standard games seemed to play ok). I next downloaded Microsoft Treasure Hunt (because appears to be the same game) and find that it runs, but all of my progress (level 1900+) and tools (shields, maps, dynamite, picks, etc) are all gone and I'm reset to level 1. I have a paid subscription to this game (as well as Solitaire) and really miss being able to play it. Is there any way to get Minesweeper/Adventure and my existing game progress back? If not, is there any way to purchase an ad free version of the new Treasure Hunt game so I can start over? For me the ads make it unplayable. I've tried playing the new Treasure Hunt from level 1 but every few games I have to watch a 30 second ad for something I don't have any interest it. And the Treasure Hunt game, so far anyway, seems to place restrictions on the number of saved tools you can accumulate as you play (currently only allowed to have 2 of everything). Really frustrating changes that, for me, mean no more Minesweeper. What a shame, it was a really nice, simple game that I enjoyed playing.

Hi Geri, thank you for the reply. I tried your suggestions but unfortunately wasn't able to correct the problem. I started with the game troubleshooting reset first and once I saw that that didn't work I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Both the reset and the re-install seemed to go properly but the problem remains. The standard minesweeper puzzles all work properly (including the daily challenge) but the Microsoft Minesweeper Adventure game won't load. When I try and load it I just get the white splash screen that I showed above and the game never loads. Also confirmed that the graphics drivers for my RTX3090 are up to date. This game has worked great for years until somehow an update was pushed overnight. The update uses a new game loader interface and is visually very different from the original (similar to the above splash screen). This was a great little game that I really enjoyed and had no problem paying paying the subscription for. I really hope that there is a fix for this!

Regards,

Tim

Hi Geri, thank you for your reply. I did try the reset/repair steps you recommended and I did uninstall and reinstall the game with no success. Whenever I try to load the Minesweeper / Adventure game all I get is the white splash screen pictured above with no further action. The other variations of the Minesweeper game all seem to work properly but not the Adventure mode.
