    The version that comes with windows 11 is now with ads and you need to pay for a subscription to get rid of the ads.

      Seriously, thank you for posting this. My dad’s computer needs an upgrade and most of what he does is the solitaire games on it. This would have been stroke inducing to discover after the fact.

      That was the case in Win 10 as well, p sure it’s the exact same app

      I think it might go back to 8 or 8.1 but I can’t exactly recall

      Wait, I thought this was a joke until I read the other comments. Are there really ads in solitaire? Please tell me this is an Onion headline.

      Yeah, it really sucks. My dad plays them on daily basis with the same ads over and over again after each round.

      If I would have to guess, he probably has seen the same ads a couple of thousand times over the years.
