Windows 8.1
OK , I updated to the latest version. My wife has a number of window
games she likes to play (Solitaire, Dominoes, Harts, Blackjack, etc.) all from the Microsoft store. Now when she clicks on apps from the desktop start button (I use Classic Start - have since Windows 8) and selects a game the open screen of the game appears and then the display immediately returns to the desk top. The only one that will actually play is Dominoes. Any thoughts why this occurs.

Go to taskbar properties and uncheck:
1- "Show Windows Store apps on taskbar" (Taskbar tab) 2- "Go to desktop instead of Start when I start session or close every app in one screen" (Navigation tab) "Jon" escreveu na mensagem ...

Sorry, I understood when you close an app, windows returns to desktop.

Each time they open they try to go online and access the MS account. Do you have an MS accout?

When I attempted some time ago to establish a MS account it failed because it said my credit card was invalid. Of course I use the card daily, here and on-line with no problem. I was trying to buy a tablet from the Microsoft store when this happened. I immediately went to Amazon and bought the same tablet using the card. I have tried creating the account several time since and still will not accept the card. Says the Bank refuses to accept the card. Called the Bank - no problem.

I just spent about a half an hour as a results of trying to respond to your post. Bottom line I did not have to enter a credit card number to get an account with MS, as MS did not need it to down load a free game or and upgrade. In trying to answer your post, I got kicked out of my local account which does not require going to the MS store. I was trying to access the MS store, to better explain what I did. I got in but as I said I changed me into the MS account. I spent a half an hour trying to get back to the local account. I am sorry I can give you no other information. But I do "Love" MS Metro system for Windows 8
