How to unlock the Savior of the World achievement in Microsoft Minesweeper - Definitive Guide

I suck at minesweeper, so heres my guide,

play each size then find a mine, then hit view board, take a picture with your phone or hit "PRT SC" and paste it into paint, then click on play same board.

that's how you cheat this achievement

Thanks Nax. It worked great. Heads up to anyone else before you do the update though. It completely resets your daily challenges progress for the month. And I only had one more month for gold and it's currently showing I have no daily challenge badges so it looks like it's a complete reset of everything. I'll let you all know if I get my gold badge next month like I should.

EDIT: I'm not sure if it's updating to the new version that caused this. But none of my old progress on the previous version counted towards the gold, silver and bronze daily challenge badge achievements. Also by buying the premium pass I've also met the requirements for all three achievements in the new version. They show in game as 8/8, 10/10 and 12/12 respectively. But no unlock. Just a heads up if anyone is thinking of switching and has progress on those achievements. You might want to keep the old version until those are unlocked.

This was my last achievement, but it wasn't popping even though my stats screen was saying best times yet no wins.

With the help of scmark15 and now with his permission, try this if you have a similar issue:

"Resetting the stats in game doesn't work but you can trick the game into fixing the wins by winning offline then going back online...

Step 1:
First disable your network adapter by right clicking on your internet icon in the taskbar and "Open Network and Internet settings" then select "Change adapter options". Once there right click on your internet adapter and select "Disable".

Step 2:
Now to reset the game, this will clear your game stats. Search for "Minesweeper" in the taskbar and right click on it and select "App Settings" the press the "Reset" button.

Step 3
Now open Minesweeper and re-win the three board sizes and your stats will now count the wins.
Note: For here out do not close Minesweeper or you'll have to start over.

Step 4
In Minesweeper click on Xbox Live box and it'll open the Xbox Console Companion App but will show an error. Leave this app open and go to next step.

Step 5
Go back to and repeat step 1 except select "Enable" from your network adapter options instead of "Disable". Wait a few seconds for your internet to reconnect.

Step 6
Now go back to the Xbox Console Companion and select click sign in in the console app and re-sign in with your login information.

Step 7
Play a game on Easy and win, don't think it matters if you actually win, and the achievement should pop on Live (You may not get an in-game popup). Also your wins will should counting again."

Good hunting.

When I got to step 7 to play an easy game, Minesweeper lagged out so I disabled the network again, it stopped lagging, started the easy game then enabled it. It didn't lag out and it popped. Thank you sir!

Followed every step and still didn't work for me. I did notice that my wins weren't counting during the phase where I was playing offline. Just like before it was registering a win streak but zero in games won. Stuck it out and got to the point where I won a game on easy, checked stats and still registering win streaks but not wins. Won two more games and still nothing. So not sure what the issue is. But thanks for taking the time to give us such a detailed guide Cortanarama and scmark15.

Minesweeper just had an update to the game - I just updated it and progress for this started tracking correctly for the 4 pre-set board sizes.

I've been trying to get this pop once a month since 2022. Still have had no luck at all. Got in touch with the Devs, they gave me a never ending circle of "fixes" and excuses.

I've tried this solution (and others from the comments) many different ways and still can't get this to pop. Only glitched achievement I have....

For it to unlock for me (after getting 4/4 and still grey):

Played EXPERT w/o continuing and win (screen shot and try again works)
Played MEDIUM, EASY, CLASSIC in that order w/o failing nor continuing.
*Unlocked*
This was done in one session.

Guide worked perfectly this time.

I say this time because I've tried following this previously and closed the game between boards, this time I didn't close the game. Possibly this has to be done in "one session"

To clarify BFalnes' point, just press 'New Game' rather than continue on the remaining three games, then just back out and continue to the next difficulty.

It unlocked for me after reaching 4/4 and the icon beeing still gray when I just won another round on easy. Wasn't even on the first try and I did not continue my two failed attempts, I chose "New Game" instead.

Got now in this order - Classic, Expert, Medium, Easy, with failing in each one (got unlucky with 50/50 finishes). Single session is definitely required.

I'd like to add my agreement to the belief (and essentially truth) that is you've got to complete these all in one sitting (no closing the game), and probably without continuing but I cannot confirm that for certain.

I think if it doesn't unlock after saying 4/4 repeat the one you did first. For me that was classic.

I think it does have to be done all in one day. I had finally beaten expert after a few days and had to go back through and beat classic, easy and medium once more that same day.

Did all 3 several times but didn't pop. As stated by Cortanarama, stats show 0% win rate, 0 games played, 0 games won but show streaks... That's weird and I don't know how to fix it.

Just tried this today. Played expert and used the above solution. Had already done Classic, Easy and Medium before on other days. Achievement didn't pop. Decided to do easy, medium and classic again and it popped. The key is to do them ALL IN ONE SITTING.

I was finally able to get this to unlock - here's the method I used on 5/18/2023:

Start with custom, then expert, medium, easy, classic.

1) Find a bomb
2) Concede
3) Take screenshot of board
4) Try again
5) Win board

It will get very laggy BUT KEEP THE GAME OPEN. Keep clicking on every square until you complete the board even though some blue squares will not change to white or numbers.

Play and complete all boards in one sitting WITHOUT EXITING THE GAME. Achievement unlocked.

Go through 3 fields - 9x9, 16x16, 32x16.

We deliberately lose, and while the game shows where the mines were, we take a photo on the phone, and then reproduce it when playing again.

(Or rather "...30*16") You can take a screenshot of the screen. For example, this program
