Microsoft solitaire collection not working Windows 10

If you’re having problems with the app downloading, installing, or working, try one of the following:

• Reset Microsoft Solitaire Collection
• Reinstall the game
• Run the Windows 10 app troubleshooter
• Reset Windows Store cache
• Update the Windows system
• Update Windows Store apps
• Switch to a Solitaire app

Make sure that your Operating System is up to date

Updating the Application

Make sure Windows has the latest update: Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates. If there is an available update, select Install now.

Make sure that your app works with Windows 10

If you’re having issues downloading or installing an app, try updating Microsoft Store: On the taskbar, select the Microsoft Store icon. In Microsoft Store, select See more > Downloads and updates > Get updates. If an update for Microsoft Store is available, it will start installing automatically.

If the app isn’t working, try repairing and resetting the app: Select the Start button > Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Select the app that’s not working, and then select Advanced options under the name of the app. On the page that opens with information about the app, select Repair. (Note: Some apps don’t have this option.) If repairing the app doesn’t fix the problem, select Reset. If the app still isn’t working, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that fixes it.

Uninstall and reinstall the app: Select the Start button. In the list of apps, right-click the one that’s not working, select Uninstall, and select Uninstall again to confirm. To reinstall the app, select the Microsoft Store  icon on the taskbar. In Microsoft Store, select See more > My Library > Apps. Select the app you want to reinstall, and then select Install. If the app still isn’t working, try running the troubleshooter for Microsoft Store apps.

Run troubleshooter for Microsoft Store apps: Select the Start button > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Store Apps. 

I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if that helps:

Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

First, run the built-in Windows Store Apps troubleshooter. Windows includes troubleshooters designed to quickly diagnose and automatically resolve various computer problems. Troubleshooters cannot fix all problems, but they are a good place to start if you encounter a problem with your computer, operating system, or connected devices. To start Windows Store Apps troubleshooter, go to Settings and type «troubleshoot», and then select «Troubleshoot» from the list

Now find the «Windows Store Apps» troubleshooter under Find and fix other problems (the last one on the list), select it and click «Run the troubleshooter». Check if the troubleshooter is able to locate and fix the problem. 

Microsoft Solitaire Collection won’t open issue in Windows 10.

If you’re still having problems while trying to play Solitaire, make sure you check your Internet connection, Firewall , and antivirus settings – security options might block certain apps.

Also, from Display Settings make sure that the default setting is set to 125% and not to 150% as the dialog box related with the Microsoft Solitaire Collection might be too big to fit on your screen and that might cause the actual malfunctions

Resetting the Microsoft (Windows) Store cache might also solve the problem. WSReset.exe is a troubleshooting tool designed to reset the Windows Store (clear the Windows Store cache) without changing account settings or deleting installed apps. Press Windows (Win) key + R (or right-click Start and select «Run») and type «WSReset.exe» in the dialog box. This will reset Windows Store cache. Check if this fixes the problem.
