I should mention that the game worked perfectly for over a year until the past few days, and it continued to work perfectly on my 3 other computers in the house. I updated Win 10 to the latest version 3 times, checked all my privacy and firewall and antivirus settings, reset the game and reinstalled it from the Windows Store several times, ran the troubleshooters for the Windows Store, the games apps, and networking several times, changed the Xbox live settings, got a completely new Microsoft account and did everything I could find on the web about this problem, all to no avail. I thought it must be a networking issue even though my internet worked perfectly on both wired and wireless connections.
I had the same issue, that Solitaire collection would open to the splash screen, then immediately close because it could not get past the "Events" loading screen. If this is the future of Windows as a service, count me out.I solved this.
But it does seem a bit odd that Microsoft can make Windows 10-an entire operating system, mind you-a free upgrade, while asking you to pay to remove ads. Why this matters: Honestly, if you want to pay for more energy in Farmville or an upgraded weapon in some online shooter, it’s your business. Apparently Microsoft thinks others will trade the price of a small coffee for an easier time of it on their lunch break. Any advantage can be welcome in Solitaire-having played TriPeaks for 15 minutes (I was working, honest!), I cleared a board just by the skin of my teeth. Granted, there is absolutely no reason for ads to appear within Solitaire itself, unlike some mobile apps.
To Microsoft’s credit, there are no distracting banner ads within the Solitaire playfield itself, just an annoying full-screen video advertisement that appears when the Challenge options are loaded. So what does $1.99 buy you? As the splash screen notes, that fee will strip ads from the Solitaire experience add more (valueless) coins to the rewards for completing Daily Challenges and get a “boost” for every game of TriPeaks and Pyramid, two versions of Solitaire found within the app. A daily challenge within Microsoft’s Solitaire Collection Premium Edition.
