  1. i keep getting a network error when trying to download or play an online game


    when ever i try to play an online game i receive a a not responding message and when i attempt to update i get a network error message. when checking the error for the game it tells me the network is down and suggest i check my drivers and network card I've tried both and they seem to be up to date. I've tried to see if windows defender fire wall is preventing it and given it full permission, and checked the file integrity of the game i don't know what else to do.

    :)

    • The device doesn't meet game requirements.

  3. can't play a game

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why you're encountering issues in playing games you've previously downloaded. One of these is when the account that owns the license of the game, is not signed in to the console. Kindly provide us the following information for us
    to determine the root cause:

    • Are you using the Microsoft account you've used to purchase the game?
    • Are you trying to access the game online or offline?
    • Is your device connected to a wired or a wireless network?
    • Have you made any changes to your device before encountering this issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    You may follow the steps provided on this

    Can't play pyramid solitaire game in Windows 10

    Hi Lee,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    Please share this:


    • Are you playing the game online or offline?


    I suggest you to try installing the game in compatibility mode and check:

    Follow these steps to install the game in compatibility mode.


    • Download the game from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the game setup file and click on
      ‘properties’.

    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.


    Hope this helps. Feel free to get back to us for further queries. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thanks and regards,

    Jenith
