Can't download Microsoft flight sim 2020

There's a Microsoft Store update available today. After installing the update, I was able to begin the download. It's 153 Gigs, so I've got a ways to go, but at least it started.

Thanks for the effort and the attempt to help.  Sadly, I'm still, "no joy", to use a flying term.

I opened the box of my brand-new Alienware M15 R4, yesterday.  It's super powerful, and new, so no issues there.  I've updated everything... All Windows updates, all Alienware updates, all drivers and downloads from Dell, all downloads and updates from Microsoft Store.

It's truly amazing to me that I cannot download a Microsoft product, onto a Microsoft OS.  Huh?  And then I start reading online, and find out thousands of people are experiencing the same thing.. for many months on end?

Tried calling Microsoft Support, and of course, a recording tells me they've moved online, which is just a FAQ... great!

This is my first return to MSFS since MSFS '98.  Truly sad state of affairs.  Where's my $119?

I tried last weekend last thing i could think of. I took my pc to my friends house and tried downloading there flight sim and guess what..didnt work :D. He has much faster and wired connection than mine so i would say these downloading issues are pretty much completely on that piece of **** installer. Lets see if todays update does anything.

Good Luck - With that, how many years did it take the Microsoft software developers to come up with FS Sim 2020? And it still runs like ****. Can’t even install it. My Internet speeds are 200 MB with a Google home Wi-Fi system. Still were unable to install!!

I feel you i downloaded minecraft thAT WAS $30 AND IT WONT **** DOWNLOAD And they haven't fixed anything what so ever

Some people with other computers on the same network were logged into a different Microsoft account at the same time. Log out of any MS accounts on PCs on your network (assuming you have other PCs at the same property.

Makes sure you have ADMIN privilege's in Windows, and you are signed into the right account when logging in to the same log-in account to download the game.

For myself, I had to log in to windows 10 on the Flight Sim account I bought it with. Then Download; have it on the PC, then I ran the load (takes ages on a normal gaming rig); then I ran it; later I logged out, and went back and logged into my other (main) Gaming PC with a different log-in to Windows, and started Microsoft Store and Downloaded on the other PC I usually game on.

Half of the problem has likely been Microsoft employing minority hires, rather than employing staff based on MERIT. 

Best of.
