When I go to event results after completing all challenges in Microsoft Solitaire it never seems right so today I wrote down the time it took to complete each challenge which was 31 minutes.  The total time that showed up in the results was 1 hour and 1 minute????

    Thanks! I'll be sure to do that. I do sometimes use the X. Since the last update I  haven't had wrong times until one with 3 hours added. Probably used X. Thanks again!

    From the Microsoft Event Facebook page:

    1. There is currently a bug where if you close the window using the "X" button or ALT+F4 during or at the end of an event challenge, you may incur extra time, so make sure you always go back to the event screen or main menu screen before closing the app!

    this is the best explanation so far.

    Sometimes my time reflects the total time from starting the first puzzle to finishing the last puzzle, even though I have carefully closed the app when I left for several or more hours. On other days, my event time seems to be accurate. When I leave without solving all the boards, I always use the back arrow to return to the master solitaire window before closing the app. There is definitely a programming bug with regard to time tracking, but microsoft has a very sketchy track record for fixing program bugs. If you HAVE to use their programs, you HAVE to life with their problems.

    Of course I wish they would listen and make improvements. On the other hand, on the days that I solve all the boards without a break, the bug is not so noticeable.

    My peeve is all the unnecessary internet delays MS programs in to prolong their stupid commercials. Commercials for real products are OK. The commercials for more MS games are terrible. The long delays waiting for commercials to begin got me to spend $15 for Premium, but not to love microsoft.

    After the bottom line previous post could not start new line, so finish with 2nd post.

    Try the clear cache & cookies thing.  See if you can log on without error.

    When that's resolved do the copy & paste (page 4), for the time problem

    Still problems:

    https://community.microsoftcasualgames.com/   You can log in using your Windows password, if you don't remember it, they can retrieve or change it from log on page 'forgot pass'.  After logging support > chat > MS will help.  It might take a little time to find chat.

    Good Luck  I'll check back tomorrow WeltyBark15426
