    Try these checks first:

    1. Update Microsoft Edge.
      • Open Edge.
      • Press Alt + F > Settings > About Microsoft Edge.
      • Let it install any available update, then restart Edge if prompted.
    2. Scan the PC for unwanted software or malware.
      • Open Windows Security.
      • Run a scan from Virus & threat protection.
      • Potentially unwanted app blocking is on by default on current Windows 10 systems, and it can be managed in Windows Security > App & browser control > Reputation-based protection.
    3. Check for interfering extensions if the ad is opening through Edge or web content.
      • In Edge, press Alt + F > Extensions > Manage extensions.
      • Turn extensions off one at a time, or disable all temporarily, then test Solitaire again.
    4. If the issue is with Microsoft Solitaire Collection specifically, and ads are appearing abnormally or blocking play, this can be a service-side issue that sometimes resolves on its own after a short time.
    5. If it continues, submit a request through the Microsoft Casual Games support form:
