    Well at long last I finally got back into it last night.

    Got the damned thing installed after four million attempts and almost as many disconnects and finally I get back in and reset the bandwidth setting.

    Unfortunately NOW it thinks I am from SE Asia for some reason and has locked all my content. So of course a reset erases epverything and we are BACK on the Asobo merry go round.

    We’ll see. I got ALL night this time, MS.

    I had the same problem with my flight sims 2020 until I watched this video by SfRoss and now it is fixed: https://youtu.be/5IcOstAQ50k

    When I try the following, Microsoft store does not show.

    Reset the Installer

    1. Bring up Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE)
    2. Select the Services Tab
    3. Find the Microsoft Store Installer
    4. Right-click it and select Restart
    5. Notification will appear to state Microsoft Flight Simulator is ready to play

    In addition, I installed MSFS 2020 (Deluxe)_ from the store, but when I click play, nothing happens.  It's supposed to start downloading (for days it seems) ,  but nothing happens.  Task Manager does not show it running.  Ideas?

    Thanks  Jim Tanis

    Try running the game as an administrator, right-click on it either on the desktop or in the Start menu and then select Run as administrator.

    Or try to launch MSFS2020 by using the Xbox app and also check your firewall on Windows system or modem is not blocking the game.

    Like the energizer bunny this thing just keeps on going.  Its an installer problem. We shouldn't have to try the equivalent editing the config.sys and autoexec.bat to get a DOS game going with a modern title.

    Microsoft should be embarrassed but they don't care, they have our money and nothing we can do about it.
