Nov 15, 2018 - Microsoft appears to be increasing delivery of annoying ads. Microsoft Solitaire Collection, Skype Preview, Microsoft OneDrive, New,. Solitaire has been part of Windows for more than 25 years, and the Microsoft Solitaire Collection makes it the best experience to date with five different card games in one: Klondike This version is the timeless classic that many people just call 'Solitaire.'

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.

We understand this could be frustrating. You can follow these steps on How to disable the ads. Driver pico 2000 windows 7. • 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. Let us know of your progress.

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.

Hi Upgrading (at a cost) to the Premium version should get rid of the periodic short video adverts. Even when you have the Premium version though you may still find that you get very occasional news/ads relating to Microsoft's other casual games when you open the game (usually opens to a webpage). In my experience this seems to happen only once for each such new news/advert. _______________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: You use my posts entirely at your own risk.
