Solution 3: Check for updates

Windows 10

If you use automatic updating, you don't need to check for important and recommended updates. Windows Update checks for these updates and installs them when they're ready.

If you don't use automatic updating, you should check for updates yourself at least once every week. We usually release important updates once a month. However, updates could be released at any time.

No matter what your settings are, some updates aren't installed automatically. These include optional updates and updates that require you to accept new Terms of Use. When these updates are available, Windows Update will let you know that they're ready to be installed.

1. Open Windows Update by swiping in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, by pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), selecting Settings, selecting Change PC settings, and then selecting Update and recovery.
2. Select Check now, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your device.
3. If updates are found, select Install updates.
4. Read and accept the license terms, and then select Finish if necessary.
   Note You might need to restart your device to finish installing some updates. Save and close all your files and apps before you restart so you don't lose anything.

Windows 8.1

To check for Windows updates, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then select Windows Update in the list of results.
2. In the left pane, select Check for updates, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your computer.

Solitaire is a computer game included with Microsoft Windows, based on a card game of the same name, also known as Klondike.

History[edit]

Microsoft has included the game as part of its Windows product line since Windows 3.0, starting from 1990.^[1] The game was developed in 1989 by the intern Wes Cherry.^[2][3][4] The card deck itself was designed by Macintosh pioneer Susan Kare.^[5]

Microsoft intended Solitaire 'to soothe people intimidated by the operating system,' and at a time where many users were still unfamiliar with graphical user interfaces, it proved useful in familiarizing them with the use of a mouse, such as the drag-and-drop technique required for moving cards.^[1]

According to Microsoft telemetry, Solitaire was among the three most-used Windows programs and FreeCell was seventh, ahead of Word and Microsoft Excel.^[6][6] Lost business productivity by employees playing Solitaire has become a common concern since it became standard on Microsoft Windows.^[7] In 2006, a New York City worker was fired after Mayor Michael Bloomberg saw the Solitaire game on the man's office computer.^[8]

In October 2012, along with the release of the Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft released a new version of Solitaire called Microsoft Solitaire Collection.^[9] This version, designed by Microsoft Studios and developed by Arkadium, is advertisement supported, and introduced many new features to the game.

Microsoft Solitaire celebrated its 25th anniversary on May 18, 2015. To celebrate this event, Microsoft hosted a Solitaire tournament on the Microsoft campus and broadcast the main event on Twitch.^[10]

Features[edit]

Since Windows 3.0, Solitaire allows selecting the design on the back of the cards, choosing whether one or three cards are drawn from the deck at a time, switching between Vegas scoring and Standard scoring, and disabling scoring entirely. The game can also be timed for additional points if the game is won. There is a cheat that will allow drawing one card at a time when 'draw three' is set.

In Windows 2000 and later versions of Solitaire, right-clicking on open spaces automatically moves available cards to the four foundations in the upper right-hand corner, as in Freecell. If the mouse pointer is on a card, a right click will move only that card to its foundation, provided that it is a possible move. Left double-clicking will also move the card to the proper foundation.

Until the Windows XP version, the card backs were the original works designed by Susan Kare, and many were animated.

The Windows Vista and Windows 7 versions of the game save statistics on the number and percentage of games won, and allow users to save incomplete games and to choose cards with different face styles.

On Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Phone, Android, and online the game was issued as Microsoft Solitaire Collection, where in addition to Klondike four other game modes were featured, Spider, FreeCell (both of which had been previously featured in versions of Windows as Microsoft Spider Solitaire and Microsoft FreeCell), Pyramid, and TriPeaks (both of which were previously part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack series, the former under the name Tut's Tomb).
