Minesweeper adventure game save

On my system, it's in this folder:

C:\Users\Shawn\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftMinesweeper_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Yours should be similar (but perhaps different string at the end of that folder name, I have no idea what that's all about).

I'm afraid not.  Naturally it's not intended to be a user-facing scenario to manually backup and restore these app state files.  It's supposed to just save your state for you automatically, no work involved.

It certainly saves the game to this folder. I tried to back up the existing file, play the game and recall the state of the game to this folder.

However, on replacing the file with the backup file, and on opening the game, it brought me out to the intro/training session. So something still is not working trying to save a game by backing up the game file. The obvious difference is the date of creation of the file/directory, which is different for the original file (old date) to the copied file (current date). Any clues how to back up the state of the game?

Thank you Shawn for the reply. What is the default install directory? Shurely it is a particular file the state of the game is saved to. What is it?

Cheers Werner

It saves the state of your game when you exit it.  It is saved inside the program's install directory (this is part of the sandboxing model where programs are self-contained and cannot interfere with other programs).

Some games even save your state "to the cloud" online so you can resume your game from another computer or phone from the same spot you left off.
