    Ok, I was having all these issues as well, tried countless fixes but only one worked for me. Don't remember the forum I originally found this fix in or the thread but what worked for me was downloading the media creation tool 2004, running that, letting it download an or reinstall any windows updates and after I was able to download and play the game no problem. The file is only around 20mb and it took around a half hour to run.

    They locked the other thread I was following re: downloader not working.  Original release worked, but since the patch, it simply keeps resetting back to 0%.

    Tried uninstalling the game, but the fresh install is still having the same problem.  Anybody have a similar experience or have any recommendations?  I haven't been able to launch the game for several weeks.

    Same issue, keeps resetting during download of the package 2.

    Uninstalled about 8 times, used D drive, increased speed, decreased, reset all kinds or stuff. Cmd prompt

    Global tuning set to normal, tried net limiter 4. 

    Run everything as administrator, turned off firewall, antivirus. MS store and pc up to date. 

    Disabled all programs on startup. Chkdsk fine, pc passes tests, used ccleaner, everything is good. Xbox and Microsoft need to fix this or provide refunds.

    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.

    Guys i was having trouble installing MSFS2020 as well. I was trying to install to my ‘D’ drive and kept getting an error message. MS support was unable to help. I found this post in another thread and it worked for me MSFS2020 is currently installing. Fingers crossed it completes.

    Hope it helps someone as it is ridiculously frustrating.

    Hi,

    Please rename the folder WindowsApps in Drive D to WindowsApps.old, restart your computer, It should work after renaming it.

    Thank you,

    Will try that latet thanks for posting 🤞
