Microsoft Minesweeper

Perfect, thanks!

Tried this multiple times hasn't worked yet.

I got it on my 2nd attempt. The first time I forgot to "then restart same board" before uninstalling.

So this works, even though the achievement description reads "not counting “play same board""? I guess that whole uninstall / reinstall is the trick. Trying soon. Maybe as I near 100%.

Thanks - this worked for me, even when I had to restart my computer before I could reinstall the game. Great workaround!

Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Worked as described, thanks for the solution.

Thanks!

does not work for me currently

still works 2022-05-13

Brilliant. Thanks!

started 2 boards klicked random on the field and got it, in the second board. after 2sec.

This doesn't work 12/16/22. Tried 3 times.

Worked 28/12/22 for me

Not working for me as of 04/04/2023. Followed the instructions, when I started an Expert board after reinstall it just gave me a new board.

This does not work currently.

I would like to add to this solution: before uninstalling, make sure to click on at least one tile that is NOT the 6-tile or a bomb. Then click back and exit the game. This saves your progress to the cloud and allows you to reopen the same board after reinstalling the game.

I unlocked this achievement on 04/27/24 using the steps above.

I Last Survivor is right. This solution only works if you add in a step between #3 and #4 in which you click on at least one numbered tile that is not the 6 or a bomb. The solution just needs to be edited to reflect that. Then when your reinstall it, you start back off right where you left off. This is how the solution should read:

1) start new board on expert
2) Die on a board
3) If there is a 6 tile, note down the location then restart same board
4) Click on at least one numbered tile that is not the 6 or a bomb
5) uninstall game
6) reinstall game
7) select expert on the freshly installed game
8) skip tutorial
9) click on the noted tile
10) pop

But definitely thank you to Elxroid for the original solution.

Could of got it earlier on, but hit a mine before I uncovered the number 6 square...

I have uncovered a 6 multiple times and it will not unlock. Only using the 30x16 board.

BlackTrakz: did you hit a mine after? It only unlocked for me after uncovering the '6' when I hit a mine and the game ended.

Cheers Hydro. Looks like cloud saving to the rescue once again, if you can reinstall from the store.
