Yeah, being forced to sit through unskippable ads in order to even just play solitaire is real special. And even if you close the program and restart your PC, the ads are still right there waiting for you to watch before you can continue with your game. This is probably going to be my last Windows machine.

I had no idea they did that. That's several kinds of messed up!

Yeah, it's very annoying. So annoying that I just stopped playing solitaire rather than sit through the ad. It remains unwatched.

And this is the built-in solitaire? Or one of the apps from their app store?

It was the spider solitaire from the ~~games~~ solitaire and casual games folder in the start menu.

Oh, man! A built-in had that much ads? Gross
