Before upgrading to Windows 10 I had the "Classic" solitaire and spider solitaire that comes with windows on my task bar for quick access while waiting for projects to update etc. , Now i have to load up xbox live to run the solitaire programs?

Why was this done? Can I not add them to task bar now? have to load up this Xbox live thing, didn't want to go through more system resources just to play simple solitaire while other projects were running.

    Dear MSN,

    I want to play spider solitaire. or Mahjong. or classic solitaire, or Minesweeper. I can't. I don't want to sign in to Xbox live, in which I have absolutely no interest. I wish to play solitaire when my internet has gone down or I am waiting for buffering ( on a really really good day my broadband speed is a magnificent 3 and no I can't get fibreoptic)

    I 'asked Cortana' as that seems to be how I am supposed to access help now. I found other people had asked the same question, see below.

    I read the answer provided. see below.

    This is useless. Totally unhelpful. I want a straightforward answer to a straightforward question, not a computer generated nothing of a response which refers me to a forum which still does not answer the question.

    Please is there an actual person who can answer an actual question?
