Obnoxious, very loud, very long ads play about every other time that I start Microsoft Solitaire games. It seems like you have to sit through several minutes of these ads until you can play a game. I think this all started for me when I upgraded from 1809 to 1909.
Any way to bypass or cut short these ads?

I don't see any adds on Microsoft Solitare collection maybe because I'm on Win10 Pro,
or I have an ad blocker "EdgeAdblock_10" .bat & host file that even blocks internal Microsoft adds?
I just realized the 1909 upgrade did not uninstall Windows 7 games. Still working.
For a higher percentage of winning with the Windows 7 solitaire game,
switch the option to draw one card at a time, instead of three.
Almost anyone will be able to hit a 40% to 50% win percentage. :)

Ah-ha!
The reason I don't see adds is because Microsoft has given me a free week of
Microsoft Solitaire Collection Premium Edition.
After that expires, the adds will come back.
lol I think Microsoft knows. I ran Solitaire to find out if mine had ads as I'm on Windows Pro but they offered me a free week of premium!
Just like the quote in the cartoon show Futurama with Prof. Farnsworth:
Nothing is impossible! Not if you can imagine it.
That's what being a scientist is all about!
Hi there
@x509
Just use the free package kpatience available in a Linux distro and run in a VM or use WSL on Windows and install - it's a bit fiddly using WSL to get some GUI apps but it's doable. A VM is the easiest.
Then ad free, no ad blockers needed and decent games too. The old W7 stuff I think works as well --always good to have multiple choices.
Cheers
