Both my wife and I have Windows10 and the MS Solitaire Collection worked fine - that is until a couple of days ago. Mine is still working fine but my wife's has stopped. I tried several things then decided to uninstall it and re-install it. Use only the cards from the deck that you need to reveal the rest of the face-down cards on the board. Above all else, make sure you have at least 5 cards in your deck unplayed. Once you have it set, go to the very end of the deck and work backwards. After you've played 5 cards in a row from your deck, you'll get the Mining for Gold Achievement.

There’s nothing quite like Solitaire. This classic game can be as peaceful or intense as you’d like—and we can’t decide if we’d rather compete with the clock or just relax and reshuffle until we find the right card. Microsoft’s updated the experience with colorful backdrops and plenty of new modes. And yes—they’ve kept that iconic jumping-cards victory screen
Great game
I play Klondike solitaire frequently, over 2,200 times. I play it different the most people. I like to use easy settings and just try to beat my time. My best time is 1:06. 3 things I’d really like to see in a future version: 1) I really wish the bar at the bottom at least had an option to always stay visible. A lot of times I’m reaching for a button on the bottom and accidentally close it. That can be annoying when I’m trying to play as fast as I can. 2) it would be a really interesting feature if you could re-play a deck at then end of the game... or even save a deck so it can be played again at a later date (possibly multiple times). 3) it would be fun to be able to see more stats, average game time, etc. ideally it would be awesome to see a graph with game time on the y axis and date played on the x axis (plots points would be red or green for win or loss). Then I could see how I’m doing over time.

Review of Microsoft Solitaire
Microsoft Solitaire is very addictive but also very fun. I have been playing it for about three years. I try to find ways to solve the puzzles quicker so I can consistently be in the top 25. I believe some people must have two accounts so they can practice each puzzle on a trash account and score big on the second account. I like to improve my times but I wish there was a way to see how I compare with the group for each of the five games and even by difficulty level. Overall the games are great and I enjoy the challenges almost every day. I know you have to make some money along the way but the long commercials are boring to watch after the 20th or 30th time! Thanks for making the games so fun though.
