    I solved the problem:



    I fucking hate the ads in Windows 10 Solitaire. I just want to play solitaire. I would even pay $100 to just outright buy the game, but SaaS is here to stay. :argh:

    It's had ads for years. I sometimes play it while listening to music and the ads have been there since Win10 launched I believe. You can buy the game for some small amount and remove them, just like a phone game, I believe. There are also solitaire games on Steam.

    Man you are crazy, solitaire was something you played because you had no other game.

    Moral outrage. Years ago, I wrote an article in praise of Windows Freecell; I'm disappointed that a product that was great largely for being spare and accessible has now become adware.

    Why play that ancient version? It's easy enough to find Win10-compatible installers for the Windows 7 games.

    Nice. Not like there are freeware versions of that software around or anything. Freeware, open-source, flash games. I wonder if people actually pay for that shit. Microsoft's built-in card games aren't anything more than basic time wasters, what you play if you must. I'm sure you'd have to pay for the other built-in games too. If...well, when I paid for a version of solitaire it'd better have more than just plain-old solitaire, better have all those suckers. Aces Up, Napoleon's Tomb, Terrance, and all the others I'm forgetting. When you get to the world of paid solitaire games, it better be really, really, nice. Not whatever crap Microsoft is selling, that's for sure.

    Found a solution thanks to Reddit and I am no longer seeing ads in Windows 10 Solitaire.

    Installed Pi-Hole and put this into my blocklist (thanks Reddit).
