    Sorry Ian, didn't work for me and i left the program running all night.

    I take it the sync your referring to is Sync with other devices??

    I don't have that added worry, just my PC. in my dinosaur world phones are for speech and texts only.

    Sorry it did not work for you. Perhaps I should hav mentioned that this solution only worked after following earlier advice on this question which I repeat here:

    Open the File Explorer and paste the following into the address bar to go to a specific location on your computer:

    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\TokenBroker

    Delete any accounts and cache folders that you can see at this location.  

    This restored my game progress history for the month to the point that I lost my scores. I have also unistalled any thing related to the Xbox app. This does not appear to impact any of the other MS games like Solitaire.

    The message that I get after a wait reads something like RESTART REQUIRED as a banner followed by a message that the game has lost sync. There is a large button to press labelled RESTART. I have had the same message come up on my Android phone version of the game so it does not seem device specific. Good luck.

    Forget this17 Feb "solution" - after it, Sudoku was working fine until 17 March and then it once again just stopped saving any Daily Challenge acheivements.

    I have tried the "solution" again, and all other recommendations (uninstall - reinstall / wsreset.exe / resetting Sudoku from 'Apps' / deleting Tokenbroker Account and cache files / running Store and App Troubleshooters / Install Xbox, and then using Xbox to install a fresh MS Sudoku download / etc etc

    And throughout all this, MS Solitaire and Mahjong have remained working without a problem!

    So I will now GIVE UP with MS SukDodu - I just do not want to waster any more time on it.

    Exactly as I did with Minsweeper many years ago.

    If Microsoft can't be bothered to fix it, I can't be bothered to play it.

    Over and out

    After trying the original "solution " of clearing the cache without any luck, I spent the rest of February using my old Windows 10 laptop to keep caught up; Sudoku has been working fine on 10 saving daily to the cloud. March came in without a fix from Microsoft (and really folks, programmatically HOW HARD CAN THIS BE???? to get a solution that works for everyone). But I digress. The 7th of March, now having become really tired of having to use two computers to continue my 3 year perfect record that I am very proud of, I took a step back and tried the original clear the cache solution on the 11 laptop and Surprise!!! it worked. I waited till now to post this and am hoping I am not jinxing myself that the issue will recur. Just a thought to try the original solution again if you are able. I will continue to check if Microsoft comes up with another solution that will work for everyone but am keeping my 10 laptop just in case.

    The sync I was refering to is the sync of the Sudoku game on a PC etc. with the cloud! What we need is for MS to provide a manual button option in the game's setting rather than have to reply on their dodgy software! Best wishes. Ian
