To address user confusion and help users find this game, the developers replaced the large polar bear on the Klondike tile with a Klondike deck and the words "Classic Solitaire". The Microsoft Casual Games team reportedly received frequent feedback to "Bring back the game mode from Windows 7" even though they already did. Since the original "Microsoft Solitaire" was Klondike solitaire but did not use the Klondike branding, some users were unaware it was Klondike. The main page's layout was rearranged to use vertical scrolling rather than horizontal scrolling.
The Windows 10 version was designed to scale dynamically both vertically and horizontally. The developers noted the delay was due to major code changes that happened during the development of Windows 10. Some customization features were not included until after the initial public release of Windows 10. The Windows 10 version was introduced to Windows 10 beta testers preinstalled with the system in build 10061, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Microsoft Solitaire. As a Windows Runtime app, it ran in fullscreen or in Windows 8's snapped mode, so it was designed to run in a variety of horizontal sizes but always stretch vertically across the entire screen. Instead, Microsoft produced the advertising-supported Microsoft Solitaire Collection that users could download through the Windows Store. Despite solitaire games previously being included in Windows for free since 1990, they were not included in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 and were uninstalled during upgrades from previous systems. Microsoft Solitaire Collection was first made available for download in Windows 8. The app has a dedicated page for statistics on Klondike, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, TriPeaks, Daily Challenge, and Star Club. When a player wins a game, the game will randomly select a card animation based on animations from previous versions of Windows card games. (The Windows 8 version used the hidden Charms bar instead of the visible hamburger menu.)
The hidden debug menu from classic card apps is no longer present, and the drop-down menus have been replaced with a universal hamburger menu and in-game hint and undo buttons at the bottom of the screen. Other new features include in-game music, cloud syncing, and Xbox Live integration. It is also possible for users to create their own custom themes. The default theme is similar to the default theme for card games in Windows Vista and 7, but the other themes are different. The software, designed by Microsoft Studios and developed by Arkadium, includes Klondike (classic Solitaire), Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, and TriPeaks game modes, as well as daily challenges.
