Hi, 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. 

 

I understand that you are unable to play the MSN online games. Before we proceed, we would require more information to assist you further.

1. Are you facing this issue in a particular browser?
2. Have you made any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
3. Is the issue occurring only when you play MSN online games?
4. Are you getting any error message?

The most common cause is a missing or outdated add-on that’s needed to play the game. Most online games are based on Silverlight, Flash or Java and do require Internet Explorer add-ons to function. In most cases, ensuring that you have the latest updates for Windows, Internet Explorer and any Internet Explorer add-ons can help resolve most issues. 

Try these steps if you are using Internet Explorer11 to access MSN games.

Method 1: If you are using ActiveX Filtering or Tracking Protection, some content like games or videos might be disabled. To find out if you are using ActiveX filtering or Tracking Protection refer to the link.

Step1:

1. Open Internet Explorer for the desktop.
2. Go to the site you want to allow ActiveX controls to run on.
3. Tap or click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then tap or click Turn off ActiveX Filtering.

Step 2:

1. Open Internet Explorer for the desktop.
2. Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Internet options.
3. On the Security tab, tap or click Custom level, and then under ActiveX controls and plug-ins, do one the following:

• Allow automatic prompting for ActiveX controls by tapping or clicking Enable.
• Allow Internet Explorer to Display video and animation on a webpage that does not use external media player by tapping or clicking Enable.
• Allow Internet Explorer to download signed ActiveX controls by tapping or clicking Enable, or Prompt if you want to be notified each time this happens.
• Allow Internet Explorer to Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins by tapping or clicking Enable, or Prompt if you want to be notified each time this happens.
• Allow Internet Explorer to Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting by tapping or clicking Enable, or Prompt if you want to be notified each time this happens.
• Tap or click OK, and then tap or click OK again.

 If the above method didn't work, try next method.
