I upgraded to Win 10 some time ago, and the solitaire was gone. Checked online, downloaded it, and got it up and running. Bliss.

Last week, two weeks ago, Microsoft pushed an update at me. Now solitaire is gone, again. Oh, the files are still right there on the hard drive, but they don’t work.

I’m not buying into their silly subscription game. What I want to do is get my solitaire back and working.

Anybody have any idea how to do this?

It appears Microsoft removed some games from Windows 8 & 10. You can download them without cost from the Windows Store, wherever that is.
