Solitaire Collection from MS Store Won't Run

Greetings,
I'm running Win 10 Build 9860 and I find neither Microsoft Solitaire Collection nor Microsoft Sudoku installed from the Store (xBox versions, I think) will run. They look like they are starting, but then the dots in a circle freeze and the app minimizes. I've installed-uninstalled-reinstalled to no avail.

Anyone else having this same problem?

Or is Microsoft cleverly disabling their own games to enhance the productivity of Windows 10?
(Bosses everywhere will rejoice.)

Thanks for any help.

Hi there

Strange that -- as the CLASSIC Solitaire type games from Windows 7 run without any problem. !!!!! I still prefer THAT version of Spider solitaire to the Store one anyway.

Cheers

having the same problems here, started this morning. Worked fine yesterday. Any word?

I have the Win7 Mahjong and Solitaire on my Win10 and Win8.1 computers, no issues so far.

Where did you get the Solitaire? I can't get mine from my win 7 machine to work
