Microsoft Minesweeper

raygo1975 · 18 Apr 2023

I am running a HP laptop with Windows 10 home 22H2 OS build 19045.2846 with all updates applied.
What is going on with Minesweeper (one of my favorite games on Windows)?
First the interface takes forever to load, not to mention it is completely changed.
Second when you click on the daily games it tells you they are not working. When will this be fixed?
Third I click on Adventure and it never loads, I have waited over 5 minutes and it just sits there. The little icon in the lower right corner does not even move. You know the mine that orbits the flag.
How can Microsoft put out an upgrade to a popular game and not get it right? Is there no quality control?
This is making me less likely to go to Windows 11 any time soon.

Has zero to do with 11. It is a server issue.

Here's a link to the Windows XP games (portable).
Just the "Games" folder (inside the .zip), wherever you want, then create shortcuts to the games you want...
