If the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter fails to identify any issues, you can try to repair the Microsoft Solitaire Collection app on Windows. Here’s how.

Step 1: Press the Windows key + S to open the search menu. Type Solitaire Collection in the box and select App settings.

Step 2: Scroll down to the Reset section and click the Repair button.

If the problem persists, there might be an issue with the Solitaire Collection app data. In that case, click the Reset button in the above menu. That will clear all the app data and reset the app to its default settings.

Fix 3: Update the Solitaire Collection App

The problems with Solitaire Collection can also occur if you’re using an older version of the app. You can update the app from the Microsoft Store to see if that helps.

Step 1: Open the Microsoft Store on your PC. Type Microsoft solitaire collection in the search bar at the top and press Enter.

At times, temporary glitches with your graphics driver can cause problems with your apps and games on Windows. In most cases, you can fix the issue by restarting the graphics driver. To do so, press the Windows Key + Ctrl + Shift + B keyboard shortcut on your PC. Your screen will flash once the driver reboots.
