To earn a bronze badge, you must earn 2,000 coins in one month. The best way to do this is to change the date to the last day of the month, as you'll have the entire month's challenges available. Changing the date to future months will result in a failure to download Daily Challenge data. However, changing the date to previous months does seem to count towards progress.

Thanks to yzmyyy for letting me know about previous months.

Thanks for letting us know x S IP U I2 S x

A few details for my friends who have been privately messaging:

I went to the corner and hit START on laptop windows 10 then found minesweeper and right clicked to get option called MORE. After clicking on MORE I scrolled down to UNINSTALL as it keeps your data in cloud from previous playing. Then I pulled up one of Microsoft casual games (I did solitaire) because it has links to all the games and clicked on minesweeper. Clicked to install it then when the box that said Install changed to PLAY I clicked PLAY. 3 SECONDS later my last 2 achievements popped. The BRONZE & SILVER achievements. I then went to check the awards and both were in color now instead of black & white.

I checked TA and it shows 1000gs too.

You might be able to simply update your game but from what I read recently it's still not working for some players so I skipped the update as the original game might have been bugged and now it's gone since I uninstalled it.

btw I had Premium, and it still did not allow playing daily challenges.

If you click on About, it shows what version you have.

I had 4.2.1392 (bugged version) then two more 4.2 versions came out and now its 4.3.1311.0

for the record, once the trackers got bugged, I went back a year and redid all 12 months to Bronze medal and then continued to complete Silver on all fresh months never played on and no pop so I waited till they fixed it.
I had it completed before the bug and after so not sure which triggered the pop for the achievement. If yours does not pop after installing the new 4.3.1311 version, then try finding fresh 12 months in the previous year you did not work on. For me it still says DAILY CHALLENGES UNAVAILABLE but maybe it works for you.

I have tested it.
The previous months COUNT!
On 2022/1/1, I finished a bronze of 2021 and the progression did not grow inmediately.
2 days later, it grew.
So the theory is：
Once you have earned any medal of PRESENT month，the previous medal will count into the progression.

@yzmyyy, I can confirm, although I've yet to do it with this game, that is how all other MS Collection Games work, so it should just be as soon as you update the current month, it'll update. Sometimes it can still take a few days though! But it does work.

I'm playing the windows 11 version. Where are the coins even? Each daily challenges seem to be awarding some XP. There is no indication at all how the XPs translate to badges...

My achievement won't pop despite the awards screen saying "12/12". I'm using the latest version of the app.

By Master Okojo on 18 Oct 2022 23:56

Same issue with all 3 progress achievements - gold/silver/bronze. Says 12/12 10/10 8/8 but no achievements are popping. Same on different computers.

By REB3L on 07 Nov 2022 12:59

Same issue. Achievement won't pop despite all condition are met. gold/silver/bronze - 12/12 ; 10/10 ; 8/8.

By HillyLoki001 on 14 Nov 2022 08:32

Same, I achieved 12/12 a few days ago but the achievement stayed locked, and Xbox/TA was in fact showing 83% completion only. I tried contacting the in-game support, they tried to help but didn't solve the issue.

What I did was launch an old Win10 version of the game (from before the major 4.x update) on an old (unused) Win10 laptop which fortunately had the game already installed, and using that old version I was able to complete one challenge from this month and this triggered an update of my state and unlocked the achievement.

Sorry it's probably not super helpful to others if you don't have access to an old version of the game, but at least it confirms that the issue comes from the new 4.x version in case you want to press support with this. I'll also give them this information in my support ticket.

Zniox ...You lucky one 😁. It is possible to install the older version before the 4x update ?

any one has the installation files before 4.x update?

By ChancierSnake16 on 28 Dec 2022 08:32

There's an update available now that fixed these, all 3 unlocked after starting the game

By x S IP U I2 S x on 07 Feb 2023 10:58

yeah thanks for keeping us updated x S IP U I2 S x. they fixed it. although they didn't fix honey theme for 10 badges but they fixed the achievements.

By ChancierSnake16 on 07 Feb 2023 11:41

@Archer Mike thank 's for the detail's instructions.
It works perfect. !!!!

Finally, after more than 1 year i have 100 % complete achievement.

By HillyLoki001 on 11 Feb 2023 19:10

Not sure what they just did/updated in the game but my phone randomly showed that I popped this achievement after it being stuck for almost a year. So if anyone else was having issues, try loading up the game and checking your progress now

By The Elite Nax on 07 Jun 2023 19:57

^same

All the achievements show 12/12, 10/10, 8/8. the gold completed in September 2022. the silver and bronze show 66% & 80% completed on TA.

In game the trackers show completed but my last two achievements to get are the silver 10/10 and bronze 12/12. both show these numbers but remain black and white in color unlike all the other achievements that turned color when completed.

I wonder if the update after I got the gold completed reset the achievement trackers? Has anybody gone back to 2021 January and completed bronze in every month to see if it pops?

If you stop at the moment of receiving the badge, for some reason it does not count. Even the next day. It helps to complete one more task.
