Windows 10: Microsoft Solitaire & Casual Games

I appreciate that this question has been asked a number of times in different ways, but is there a reason why Microsoft games specifically Solitaire, Jigsaw, Word Games and Treasure Hunt fail to run properly on Windows 11 when they were okay on Windows 10? It's now a problem to open the games, never mind sluggish gameplay. I have always used the non-purchased versions, so ads are part of my experience and even the ads won't run.

Solitaire & casual Games. Will not start up.

Hi Ulf,

I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

It seems to be a known temporary bug. Please follow this steps.

Open the Microsoft Store and ensure you have the latest versions of the following apps (Install or update these apps if needed):

> Microsoft Mahjong

> Microsoft Solitaire Collection

Once you've done that, launch Microsoft Mahjong first and sign in with your Microsoft or Xbox account.

Inside Microsoft Mahjong app, scroll down and locate the Solitaire Collection that is under Other Microsoft Casual Games and click on it. This should open the Solitaire & Casual Games app (Microsoft Solitaire Collection).

Afterward, close all apps and restart your PC.

Upon restarting, open the Solitaire & Casual Games app (Microsoft Solitaire Collection) and see if the games are working now.

This sequence of steps might help reset any temporary glitches that could be affecting the games.

You can also try workaround 1 and 2 using steps here: https://microsoftcasualgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-...

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

 

Why does microsoft Solitaire collection download as Solitaire & Casual Games?

I am running Windows 10, and somehow lost Microsoft Solitaire Collection. It is not in my Start list, nor does it show up in either my Control Panel or my settings/Apps. When I try to download from Microsoft Store, it tells me it is Microsoft Solitaire Collection, but it shows on my computer as Solitaire & Casual Games. And it shows on my start list this way and does not seem to be a part of Microsoft Games as it was before.
