how to play microsoft minesweeper daily challenges

BLEEP BLOOP ***NOTES*** -The prevailing theory seems to be that you need to complete the last day from the prior month in order to count a full month for some reason. 12) Upon finishing the challenge (I actually failed on mine) the achievement will unlock. 11) Open Minesweeper and complete the challenge that you already completed. 10) Now reset your date to the LAST day of the month you are attempting the achievement on (In my case, October 31st 2018). 9) Move your date back another day, to the 29th, and complete another challenge. Complete a single challenge on that day, and close minesweeper through the task manager. 8) Now Reset your date to the LAST DAY OF THE PRIOR MONTH. Close minesweeper like you have been doing through the task manager. 7) Once you've completed 1 challenge for each day of the entire month. 6) Continue playing 1 daily challenge and moving the date forward in this manner all the way through the entire month.

Go back to your settings, and move the date forward to the 3rd now. Once again allowing all of the animations to play out, wait 10 seconds, and close minesweeper through the task manager. 5) Open Minesweeper, and play the next Easy challenge on the 2nd of the month. It’s also been said that changing the TIME (but not the date) could affect the achievement unlocking. If you are doing this in one setting, you will not have to change the time at all (Thus why I set it to Noon) and you won't have to worry about the time of day disrupting your progress. 4) Once 'Microsoft Minesweeper' Disappears from the task list. Once the coins finish collecting, wait between 5-10 seconds, and then close Minesweeper through the task manager. 1) Disable 'Set Time Automatically' and reset your clock to the first of any given month at 12:00 PM (I used October 2018) 2) Open Minesweeper, and play an easy challenge from the first day. Keep Task Manager and Windows Time Setting pages open, you'll be using them a lot. So I started this with zero progress towards the achievement. I didn't do this 'legit' as I have far too busy of a schedule to even attempt such a thing. You may be able to shed some steps off of this process, but i'm just sharing what worked reliably for myself. I wanted to write a concise guide for future use for other players **EDIT ** KingyOwl in the comments has confirmed that this method works on the Windows 10 Version as well!! **Original Solution Below** THIS WILL WORK IN WIN 10 There is a clear way to do this and reliably unlock the achievement.
