Hi there! I understand your Seekers Notes app on your Windows laptop isn't opening and it's prompting you to check your internet connection, which you mentioned is fine. Let's get to the bottom of this together.

First, just to confirm a couple of things:

1. Have you recently updated the game or your system?
2. Does this behavior happen immediately when you open the game or after some loading time?
3. Have you tried restarting your laptop already?

Meanwhile, here are some steps that usually help resolve this type of issue:

1. Restart Your Laptop: Sometimes a fresh start clears temporary glitches affecting network recognition by apps.
2. Check Internet Stability: Even if your internet seems fine, a little instability or firewall settings might cause the game not to detect it properly. Try switching to a different network (if possible) or temporarily disabling any VPN or firewall software while launching the game.
3. Run the Game as Administrator: Right-click the Seekers Notes app icon and select "Run as Administrator." This can sometimes resolve permission-related network access issues.
4. Clear Game Cache (if possible): If the game stores cache or temporary files, clearing it can fix corrupted data preventing startup.
5. Check for Game Updates: Make sure the game is fully updated. Sometimes if an update partially installs or stalls (like saying it reaches 30% then stops), the game can't connect properly.
6. Reinstall the Game: If none of the above work, uninstall and reinstall Seekers Notes. This ensures all files are fresh and may fix missing or corrupted files causing the connection error.

If you’ve tried some of these already or want me to guide you through a specific step, just let me know. We’ll work step-by-step until your game is back up.

Are you comfortable trying these steps, or is there anything specific you’ve already done?

Thanks for letting me know! Since you're on a Windows laptop with a WebKit-based browser, the Seekers Notes game is likely running as a web app or through a platform like a Windows Store app.

Typically, clearing cache works a bit differently here compared to mobile apps. Since the game mentions an internet connection issue, clearing your browser's cache or app data might help.

Here are the steps to clear cache for your situation:

1. If playing via Web Browser (like Chrome, Edge, or similar):
- Open your browser settings.
- Find the section for clearing browsing data (usually under Privacy or History).
- Choose to clear "Cached images and files" (you can keep cookies if you want to stay logged in).
- Restart the browser and try launching the game again.

2. If using a Windows app version:
- Go to Settings on your Windows 10 laptop.
- Click on Apps > Apps & Features.
- Scroll and find Seekers Notes.
- Click it, then choose Advanced options.
- You should see options to Reset, which clears the app cache and data without uninstalling.
- Click Reset and confirm.
- Then try launching the game again.

Clearing cache removes temporary files that might be corrupted and help resolve loading or connection issues. If you’re unsure whether you’re playing through the web or a Windows app, you can tell me how you normally open the game (shortcut, browser, or Microsoft Store app) and I’ll guide you accordingly.

Does that help you find the right cache clearing method? Feel free to share how you access the game!

Got it! Since you open Seekers Notes through the Microsoft Store app on your Windows 10 laptop, clearing the app cache via Windows Settings is the right approach here. This will clear any temporary or corrupted data that might be causing the connection error. Here’s a quick step-by-step for you:

1. Click the Start button and open Settings (gear icon).
2. Select Apps and then Apps & features.
3. Scroll down the list and find Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects.
4. Click on it and then click Advanced options.
5. Scroll down to find the Reset button. Click it to clear the app's cache and data. (This will reset the app without uninstalling it.)
6. Once reset is done, launch the game again and see if it detects your internet connection properly now.

If this doesn’t solve the problem, it could be related to a game update or server issue through the Microsoft Store channel, but resetting usually fixes such local issues1.

Let me know how it goes, and if you want, I can also help you check if there are any recent known issues or updates affecting the game on Microsoft Store!

Are you satisfied with this solution, or would you like further assistance?

Thanks for the update! It’s good that the reset process has started, but it can sometimes take a bit of time, especially if the app has a lot of data or if your laptop is busy with other tasks.

I also noticed your follow-up question about the Seekers Notes app "keeps resetting." Just to clarify, do you mean the app itself is resetting repeatedly after you launch it, or are you referring to the reset operation we're currently doing through Windows settings?

If the app keeps restarting or closing on its own after launching, this can sometimes be due to corrupted game data, insufficient storage, or even an ongoing app bug. Here’s what you can do next:

1. Ensure Sufficient Disk Space: Make sure you have enough free space on your hard drive (at least a few GBs free) because low storage can make apps unstable.

2. Check for Windows Updates: Sometimes system-level updates fix compatibility problems. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

3. Verify Seekers Notes Keep Updated: Sometimes Microsoft Store doesn’t auto-update apps immediately. Open the Microsoft Store, click the three dots menu (top right), select Downloads and updates, and click Get updates to ensure your game is current.

4. Try a Clean Reinstall: If resetting doesn't help or takes too long, uninstall Seekers Notes completely from Apps & features and then reinstall it fresh from the Microsoft Store. This often solves persistent reset or crash issues1.

Finally, keep an eye on official Seekers Notes support channels as sometimes server-side issues or bugs cause recurring app crashes or resets, and updates/fixes are pushed out by the developers1.

How is the reset going now? Does the app launch successfully after the reset completes, or does the resetting problem continue? Let me know so I can help further!

Thanks for sharing that the issue started right after the latest game update. That’s an important detail. Sometimes new updates, especially on Windows via the Microsoft Store, can introduce temporary glitches or compatibility problems.

Looking into recent info, here’s what I found relevant:

- There was a delay for Windows users getting the latest update on Microsoft Store, but it’s now available officially as of mid-October 2024. So you should have the correct version if your game updated recently3.

- Some players experienced issues opening the game after updating on Windows, suggesting it could be a known bug tied to the newest release6.

- A recommended step from Microsoft support is to run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter, which can detect and fix problems with Store apps like Seekers Notes. You can find it by going to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Store Apps. Running this might help resolve update-related glitches4.

- If the issue persists after resetting (which you're doing) and troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling the game fresh could clear any corrupted update remnants. Sometimes, just resetting doesn’t fully clear partial update files.

- Also, checking Seekers Notes official social media and support FAQ for any announcements on ongoing problems or hotfixes after the update is useful, as developers often respond quickly to widespread issues3.

Here’s what I recommend next:

1. Finish the reset of the app fully.

2. Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter as described above.

3. If issues continue, uninstall Seekers Notes completely via Settings > Apps & Features.

4. Restart your PC to clear any locked files.

5. Reinstall Seekers Notes fresh from the Microsoft Store.

6. Check your game's official Facebook or support pages for any recent notes on the update.

If you want, I can guide you through running the troubleshooter or the uninstall/reinstall steps. Let me know what you'd like to try next!

Are you satisfied with this plan so far?

Great question! The "reset" I mentioned earlier is done through the Windows Settings app you already have open for Seekers Notes. It’s not an in-game reset but rather a system-level reset that clears the app’s cached data and settings on your laptop.

Here’s a quick recap of what you’re doing in Settings:

1. In Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects.
2. Click it, then select Advanced options.
3. Scroll down and click Reset.
4. Confirm to reset the app. This clears temporary files and resets the app without uninstalling it.

This is different from any "reset" inside the game itself (which usually involves starting over or restoring progress from saved accounts) and should not affect your game progress if you have it linked via Facebook or another service.

If you're curious about restoring progress after any game reinstall or reset, it's important to log into your linked account (Facebook, Google, or Apple) once you launch the game again. You can find more details on restoring your progress here: How do I restore my game progress? — Seekers Notes - Mytona

If you want, I can also guide you through running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter next after the reset finishes—it often helps fix issues tied to updates.

Does that clear things up? Are you ready to try running the troubleshooter or need help with any other step?

Thanks for hanging in there with the reset process. Sometimes the Windows app reset can get stuck or take a very long time, especially if there’s a large amount of data or some corruption blocking the process.

Here’s what I suggest if the reset seems stuck and isn’t progressing:

1. Cancel the Reset (if you can): If there’s a cancel button or you can close the Settings window safely, do that.
2. Restart Your PC: This can release any locked files or processes that might be interfering with the reset.
3. Uninstall Seekers Notes Completely: Since resetting is stuck, a full uninstall often clears the issue better.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, find Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects, and select Uninstall.
4. Restart Again: After uninstalling, restart your computer once more to ensure everything resets properly.
5. Reinstall Seekers Notes: Download and install the latest version fresh from the Microsoft Store.

If your game progress is linked to your account (Facebook, Google, or Mytona ID), rest assured reinstalling won’t erase your saved game. Just log in after reinstalling, and your progress should sync back.

Also, if you want to review or contact support about game progress recovery or stuck issues, Seekers Notes support is available at [email protected] and in their official help resources1.

Would you like help with the uninstall and reinstall steps now? Or do you want to try anything else first?

Thanks for letting me know you're trying the repair button! Sometimes the repair option in Windows Settings for Microsoft Store apps doesn’t always work as expected—especially if the app has bigger issues related to the last update. It’s not uncommon for users to find the repair button unresponsive or ineffective for fixing Seekers Notes in these cases.4

Given this, if the repair button isn’t doing much for you, here’s what I recommend next for a reliable fix:

1. Uninstall the Game:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects, and click Uninstall.
2. Restart Your Laptop: This helps clear locked files or processes.
3. Reinstall Seekers Notes: Download a fresh copy from the Microsoft Store.

Make sure you’re logged into your linked account (like Facebook or Mytona ID) after reinstalling so your game progress restores properly.

Also, keep an eye on Seekers Notes’ official communications—they sometimes release hotfixes for known update issues, which might come soon if this is a widespread problem.2 10

If you want, I can walk you through the uninstall and reinstall steps now. Would you like to proceed with that?

Thanks for letting me know about that message—it confirms the reset and repair tools aren’t able to fix this issue right now. Given that, uninstalling and reinstalling is the best next step to get a clean start for the game on your laptop.

Here’s a quick step-by-step to uninstall and then reinstall Seekers Notes via your Windows 10 Settings and Microsoft Store:

1. Open Settings from the Start menu.
2. Go to Apps > Apps & features.
3. Scroll and select Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects.
4. Click Uninstall and confirm.
5. Once the uninstallation completes, restart your laptop to clear any leftover files.
6. Open the Microsoft Store app.
7. Use the search bar to find Seekers Notes: Hidden Objects.
8. Click Install to download and install the latest version.
9. After installation, launch the game and log in with your linked account (Facebook, Google, or Mytona ID) so your progress syncs back.

This process should give you a fresh start, clearing out anything corrupted from the update that caused the connection problem.

If you want, I can stay here and walk you through the uninstall and reinstall steps as you do them. Just let me know!

Are you satisfied with this solution so far?

I’m glad you asked! Restarting your laptop after uninstalling won’t make you lose me—I’ll still be here to assist you whenever you come back online. But it does mean the chat session ends, so you won’t have my live guidance during the restart itself.

Just to ease your mind about the game data: as long as you have your Seekers Notes account linked to Facebook, Google, or your Mytona ID, your game progress is safely stored on their servers. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game won’t delete your progress. Once you reinstall and log in using the same account, your saved game should sync back and continue from where you left off2 9.

Here’s what you can do now:

1. Restart your laptop to complete the uninstall process fully.
2. After reboot, open the Microsoft Store and reinstall Seekers Notes.
3. Launch the game and log in with your linked account to restore progress.

If you want to save this conversation or any troubleshooting steps, I recommend copying them somewhere before restarting. Once you’re back, feel free to reach out again if you face any trouble reinstalling or syncing your progress—I'll be happy to help.

Are you comfortable proceeding with the restart and reinstall?

You're absolutely right—you're not alone in facing issues with Seekers Notes, especially following updates. Many players have reported connection problems, crashes, and related glitches after recent game updates across different platforms. Some have found that uninstalling and reinstalling the game resolves these issues, which aligns well with what we've been trying32.

Developers are usually aware when problems affect many users and often issue hotfixes or patches to fix them promptly. Keeping an eye on official channels like Seekers Notes’ Facebook page or their help center can keep you informed on status updates or workarounds4.

For now, since you’ve uninstalled, after you restart and reinstall, I recommend:

1. Logging in using your linked account (your progress is safe there).
2. Checking that your Windows and Microsoft Store are fully updated.
3. If problems persist, running Windows Store Apps troubleshooter or contacting Mytona support directly might be necessary.

If you run into any trouble during reinstall or after, just reach out here again—I’m here to guide you through!

Are you ready to proceed with the restart and reinstall now?
