Microsoft Minesweeper: A Puzzle Game for PC and Windows Phone

Microsoft Minesweeper is a free-to-play puzzle game developed by Microsoft Studios in collaboration with Arkadium. Released in October, this game is available on both PC and Windows Phone platforms.

Initially, I had difficulty accessing Minesweeper online through MSN Games. However, I managed to install the app on my PC and started playing without any issues. The game was prompted only once for login credentials, which I provided successfully.

However, when I tried to access the game on my Windows Phone, I encountered a problem. Despite being able to log in to Xbox Live with the same account, I couldn't access Minesweeper using my Microsoft account. The game would prompt me to log in with the account used to download it, but unfortunately, this didn't work.

To troubleshoot the issue, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the Windows Store. This didn't resolve the problem either. It seemed as though the app was having trouble retrieving my login credentials.

After upgrading a virtual machine from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I attempted to access Minesweeper again, but it still wouldn't work. Despite being able to play other apps like Solitaire without any issues, Minesweeper remained inaccessible using my Microsoft account.

Overall, while Microsoft Minesweeper is an enjoyable puzzle game, users may encounter difficulties accessing the app on Windows Phone devices using their Microsoft accounts. If you're experiencing this issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app from the Windows Store or contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
