Block Ads Microsoft Solitaire Collection
So you are saying I either have to pay - or put up with this unnecessary and unhelpful intrusion into my time? Surely no caring company would inflict this on its customers? Maybe there is a way to download and run this package outside the 'Windows/Microsoft/X-Box' framework - anything would be preferable to this. For about 3 or 4 months no ads appeared - and now this last week - they are back to haunt us. Always the same unwanted ads ( although I'm not sure there are any 'wanted' ads anywhere ) - for other microsoft games - and seemingly gradually increasing in length too.
Windows 10 Solitaire ads have become controversial ever since Windows 10’s launch. In case you don’t know, users have to purchase a subscription to get rid of Windows 10 Solitaire ads. If you really don’t want to spend money on a default time-killer though, there is a way to remove these ads for free.
We understand this could be frustrating. You can follow these steps on How to disable the ads. • Open the News app. • Click Settings, under Privacy Statement look for 'How We Use Personal Data', click on 'Learn more'. • Scroll down and search for Advertising, look for 'You can opt out of receiving interest-based advertising from Microsoft' and click on 'opt-out page' link. • Another page will pop up, there you could turn off unwanted ads.

Hi Thankyou for this suggestion - however following this route does not prevent the ads from appearing - it simply stops the adds being 'specific to me ' - which as far as i remember they have never been - what I get is the same repeated generic adds for Microsoft Mahjong or other games available on my laptop via Microsoft/XBox. The problem is not the nature of the ads - but the time taken up showing the ads when I don't wish to see them at all.
Unless I am missing something, the only real solution to this problem appears to be the option to pay you not to inflict them on me - otherwise, as I understand it, you will continue to do so - not an action likely to endear Microsoft/XBox to its users I feel. A disappointed customer.
—which is, by the way—comes, as it used to in the pre-Win8 days, with Solitaire preinstalled. The Microsoft Solitaire Collection, in fact, which bundles the classic Klondike with other familiar variants like Freecell and Spider Solitaire, tracks stats and logs achievements, and will even have leaderboards at some point. It also has ads. You can make the ads go away, but, as you may have guessed, it'll cost you, and not just once: The Microsoft Solitaire Collection Premium Edition is effectively a subscription service that goes for $1.50 a month, or $10 for a year.

The Premium version of the game does away with ads, and also offers more coins for completing 'Daily Challenges,' and a boost when you play TriPeaks or Pyramid. As points out, this isn't exactly unprecedented. The Solitaire Premium Edition for Windows 8.1 is exactly the same, but it's offered as a separate app in the Microsoft Store, rather than being bundled with the OS. Minesweeper in Windows 10 is also ad-supported, although it remains a separate Microsoft Store download.
The ads in question aren't small banners that appear at the bottom of the screen while you play. They run over the full Solitaire window, some for 15 seconds and some for 30 seconds, and while they don't seem to pop up very often—in our quick and entirely unscientific testing, Wes was able to jump around in menus about 20 times and started a half-dozen games between them—they can't be aborted. And because I know it's bound to come up, no, you can't buy an ad-free experience with those in-game coins. They're strictly for unlocks. Windows 10 itself is free, so complaining too much about this might seem ungracious.
But I think that perhaps what we're getting here is a flash of insight into exactly why it's free.
