    Solitaire collection ads are slowing down in the last 10 seconds and countdown timer does...


    My SO is having issues with the video ads slowing down before her daily challenges. They play fine until the last 10 seconds, then they slow down to an unbearable speed. We have already tried to reset it in settings, but that did not fix the issue. Also, it appears the that there are a few ads that seem to work just fine.Could this be an ad caching issue?

    :)

    App for scheduled countdown timer?

    Hi, I'm wondering why are you relying solely on the Store?

    There are thousands - millions perhaps- of freeware and commercial programs out there that are not apps. Or do you only need something that runs in a tile, for example? I sometimes wonder whether the introduction of universal apps and the Store will lead people - especially newcomers- to forget Windows can be used entirely without the store, its Start Menu, and universal apps...

    Here are some lists of freeware programs:

    Microsoft Solitaire Collection Pesky Ads!

    Hi, I am sure you have all experienced those very annoying ads which pop up in Microsoft Solitaire Collection!
    To help eliminate around 80-90% of these ads showing, my suggestion is to tap the "ESC" button on your keyboard continuously. Then most disappear!
