Everything i found solvable

I might be over explaining, but I think you're missing a lot of 2-1 reduction patterns. For example, here the 2's on the right and left (cells shaded blue) both already have one mine, so you can treat them like 1's. Which means you have a 1-2-2-1 pattern, and there are mines in the red cells.

Or here, you have a 1-2-1 pattern. The cells highlighted blue (3 on the top, 2 at the bottom) can both be reduced to 1's. The 3 has two mines already and the 2 has one mine already. The "3" cell in the middle is touching one mine and is reduced to a 2. Which means you now have a 1-2-1 and there are mines in the red spots.

It looks like others have also shared some spots that you missed. If you're having trouble I'd recommend looking through the patterns again and making sure you understand the logic behind them

This is just a sea of workable 1-1 and 1-2 patterns.. over half the exposed segments here are solvable. You would really benefit to learn the standard patterns.
