Problem with Windows 10 & Minesweeper Adventure

Anonymous

I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1.  I've played Minesweeper Adventure & Treasure Hunt numerous times when I had Windows 8.1 with no difficulty.  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10, the screen is blacked off to the right.  The game board that is covered up by the black screen will move to a point and then stop.  Arrow buttons will not move the screen like they did in Windows 8.1.  At no point is the entire level of the game able to be seen like it was seen in Windows 8.1.

I haven't checked to see if it happens in other games.

Does anyone know what might be wrong or how to fix it?

    Bit long winded but have found that can still play the game by getting close to the hidden portion on the right hand side, stop, zoom in, use the right arrow to move cursor over to the hidden portion of the board which will be visible when zoomed in and then finish off clearing the last two rows and exit.  Hopefully Microsoft will solve the problem with an update but at least can finish each level.  Bit addictive this game :)

    I'm glad I'm not the only one.  Worked the first day or so, but now I have this problem, too.

    I've tried everything above.  When I search for compatibility, I get the message that there is "no matches available for my search."  My display adapter is the most up-to-date one available, according to message I get after clicking "Update Driver."  My game manufacturer is Microsoft.  The games are Microsoft Minesweeper Adventure that came with Windows 8.1.  Microsoft Treasure Hunt is another form of Microsoft Minesweeper that was compatible with Windows 8.1.  

    The only thing that happens with both games is that the screen cuts off on the right and won't continue displaying as it should.  I get no error message.  Display just only goes so far to the right.

    I can try to install another Microsoft Game if you like.  What would you recommend?

    Thanks,

    Patty
