    Have you tried reinstalling a clean copy of Windows? That was the trick for me. Did that and it worked straight up. To get the latest update just a few days ago i got a vague error about needing to go to the windows store for an update and when I went there it wasn't showing anything. I then saw I needed to have the xbox app installed and as soon as I did that the update came straight on.

    You could spend a lot of time chasing this issue. Just bite the bullet and re install windows...

    (UPDATE)

    I have been unable to install this Sim since August 2020.

    IT WILL NOT START THE DOWNLOAD.

    MSFS2020 was working fine on this system prior to the patch #1.

    Cannot re-install MS2020 premium deluxe from the MS store.

    New 1TB SSD M.2 fitted. New CPU, and all RAM replaced. Graphics card upgraded.

    The MS Store keeps giving these errors:

    0x803FB107

    0x80070141

    0x80073D12

    0x80073D02

    0x80073CF9

    0x87E00017

    0x80131500

    0x80070422

    I have tried all these fixes:

    There are no pending Windows 10 updates

    Checked time and location settings:

    Reset the Microsoft Store Cache. WSReset.

    Tried running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

    Perform ‘sfc /scannow’

    Installed to a different hard drive

    Performed a clean boot of windows

    Removing Windows Store local cache file

    Reset the Microsoft Store Installer

    Disk clean up tool to remove any potential conflicts

    Used the Windows Store Troubleshooting tool

    Language packs.
    Firewall on/off
    Router DNS configs. (I am Cisco certified)
    Router bandwidth limiting.
    Changed ISP

    Changed the router

    I have raised Zendesk tickets and submitted logs.

    Next step is to try Windows 11 update.

    I found out that I was using a new account due to me making a clean Windows 10 install and that was not the one I used to buy the game from Microsoft. Found the right account (old account) and have now reinstalled the game. Just uploading that huge update now that has been sent, now at 69% of a 40.29 Gb update...wow.
