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?

I just made the actual game window as small as I could stand playing it.

As it shrunk, the rest of the board became visible and playable.

Wasn't too much more difficult to play.

Hope this helps!

Perhaps the most appalling thing about this issue is that it was raised over a year ago and Microsoft has done NOTHING to fix it even though so many of us who used to play it daily (or in my case several times a day) are plagued with a miserable defect in Windows 10.

This should have been fixed last year. I've been playing Minesweeper since the 1990s. I added Minesweeper Adventure and Treasure Hunt when I got Windows 8.1. After "upgrading" to Windows 10 I'm finding a number of "downgrades", including its inability to allow these games to run properly.

Evidently, nobody at Microsoft is listening or cares. The company and its executives should be ashamed.

I'm currently on Level 106 of Treasure Hunt and Level 196 of Minesweeper Adventure. This same problem happened to me the moment I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1. All of my other games work fine. I was stuck in the game near the end and could not exit until I read the tip about zooming in to reveal the last few rows of the minefield. No one should have to put up with this.

The fact that so many people have this problem and Microsoft has yet to fix it is completely unacceptable. Updating the display drivers does nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both games three times and that has a no effect. Thankfully, in syncing with the cloud, when I reinstall my game settings, stats, pickaxes, dynamite, maps, etc. are retained. The fact remains, however, that there is a problem with Windows 10 that does not allow these games to work properly as they have in previous versions of Windows.
