    Check your version of windows 10. Also make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

    I had the same problem and Sumit's advice worked.  

    "Select Start, then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402868...

    Make sure all the updates in the Microsoft Store are correctly installed."

    Though I thought I had everything updated already, following these instructions exactly allowed me to install Flight Sim with no issues anymore.

    Note: At least for me the Windows updates themselves took nearly two hours to download and install.

    Holy Cow!! Does any of this sound normal just to download a sim?  I have downloaded many sims and games but Microsoft needs to get it together.  X plane 11 download and updates are trouble free but this sim asks you to try replacing your damn hard drive.  No thanks...

    Dont reinstall windows  it wont  fix anything. I got a new laptop  so I didnt care about  reinstalling ..  thats not the issue and wont help. 

    this is a Flight Sim problem  not a windows or laptop problem/  My laptop is brand new.  High end grahics card.  1TB   and 32GB ram.  .. def not the computer.  

    Ive tried everything  I can think of.  This is  insane

    Also yes  all updates are installed for  both store  and windows.  Also switched username  from  account to LOCAL   still nothing.
