Windows 10: Question about Microsoft Solitaire and Casual Games Collection.

Recently, Microsoft got rid of my Solitaire and Casual Games collection because they sold it to another company. Is there anyway to get the old version back?

:)

 

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.

 

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,

 

Increase The Card Size In Microsoft Solitaire Collection Game.

Hi Mary Sandberg,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Mary, there is no option within the Microsoft Solitaire Collection game to increase the size of the cards; however, you can follow the below steps just to make some changes within the game so that the cards will become a little bigger in size.



Launch the Microsoft Solitaire Collection > Select a game (like Klondike, Spider, FreeCell) > Click on the
Cards option which is located at the center of the game screen.

Then, click on Themes beside to the red X button and click on
Change Deck.

Choose Jumbo from the options and go back to the game and you will see some bigger card size than before.



Also, you can use the Full Screen View option, which is located at the top right corner of the game to play the game in full screen and this might also help you.
