Thanks BGM, Yes I have Winearo Tweaker which led me to that page.
I dumped the Microsoft noneworkig Solitaire collection and installed the
Windows 7 games as you suggested, Everything is working fine now plus I
have extra games which I did not have before.


I thank my lucky stars that they made it. Even when the full Solitaire
game works, it's not the same. I pull Solitaire or Minesweeper up when
I'm on hold to kill the time. The Windows 7 versions are perfect for
this, the Windows Store versions are just slightly too elaborate for a
trivially quick game.

So good on WinAero. They've got every wrinkle settled except for the fact
that MS *still* uninstalls them every time you do a major update.


I've been through at least two major updates and the Win 7 games haven't
been affected so far.


I usually upgrade from an MCT DVD rather than letting Windows Update do
it. Maybe that's the difference? Other thoughts: 64-bit? U.S. thing?

It's a minor annoyance TBS. It's really easy to just reinstall them, and
the Start tiles reappear as soon as I do that.


I let WU do the upgrades. 64bit and US, yes.

As for Start tiles, I can't say that I've ever seen them. I don't use that
part of Windows 10 at all.
