how to reset games on microsoft solitaire collection, windows 8

(I know games were pulled from 8 and 8.1 because of corporation pressure, not wanting employees playing games). To my surprise her new one did not have games. I picked it because I knew people were upset with 8 and 8.1 games. What really got to me was that I just bought my wife a new laptop with win 7 64 bit. Jader3rd, thanks for a great platform for us to ‘vent’ on.

Have we, as experienced and older players of this mind-challenging game, become victims of the internet and therefore must PAY for what was once free entertainment (even though the game/s came at an inclusive price of our PC ?)……and therefore are now delivered (via ‘FREE APPS’) a totally crap experience of what was once a very good sharp and responsive computer based game ? What we see now is circa 1993……AND we as well have the most ANNOYING (bottom-screen add) that CAN NOT be turned off ….Cheers and good luck bloggers

Right-click your graphics adapter and choose Properties.You are correct Karen……Even when playing Free-cell with (GOD forbid) REAL cards….LOL…we can lift and see the Aces hidden behind covering cards (to help guide and make decisions)….Also what has happened to the ‘DOUBLE-CLICK’ movement of transferring cards to the Free Cell/s…………As mentioned above in replies to other players/people of this blog……”I feel that this version, (apparently designed for Windows 8 users), is in fact a major STEP-BACK in time (maybe back to 1995….!!!!!),…… is a bloody insult to the intelligence of older and experienced players of previous versions, AND should be addressed asap”.

Double-click the Display adapters category.

Right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager.

On the contrary, if the issue started after a recent graphics driver update, try rolling it back to its previous version. Or, use an automatic driver updater utility like Driver Booster.

Go to your graphic card manufacturer’s website- AMD, NVIDIA, or Intel-and download and install the latest video drivers. If rebooting your computer’s display driver helps but the issue recurs, you must update the video drivers on your computer. Once the screen flashes, try opening the Microsoft Solitaire Collection again. To fix that, reboot the driver process by holding Windows Key + Ctrl + Shift + B for a few seconds. Rarely the graphics driver in Windows can glitch out and cause problems with video games. Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage Note: If you have trouble removing the Solitaire Collection via the Apps & Features screen, run the following command via an elevated Windows PowerShell console instead (right-click the Start button and select Windows PowerShell ( Admin ):
