Windows 8 Store Tile on the Start Page
Today I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Everything went well except
for one thing. When I click on the Windows Store tile on the start page, nothing happens. All my other tiles work. Does anyone else who upgraded have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? I went to the Windows Store by typing the web address in IE9 and signed in using my Microsoft account but could not find any free games such as Spider Solitaire. Since the upgrade wiped out all of my Windows 7 games, I thought I would be able to download the games from the Windows Store. Does anyone know how to get the free games that the Windows Store was suppose to have? |

Windows 8 Store Tile on the Start Page
Use a MSFT account to logon to Windows
Solitaire is an X-Box Live app - Microsoft Solitaire Collection A tile should exist on the Start Screen. If not, go to the MSFT Store swipe or scroll the screen right to the Games section, change the category to Card and look for the Microsoft Solitaire Collection. Fyi...if you are using Windows 8 you are using IE10. Ensure you access the 'Store' from the Windows 8 Start Screen (fka Metro UI). -- ....winston msft mvp mail "Steve" wrote in message ...

Try going into the Desktop and use the task manager to end the Store task and see if that helps. It worked for me with the Mail app. -- Zaphod Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, ya know? - Gag Halfrunt |
