When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    To fix this issue, you need to install the XBOX APP (BETA) on your PC, following the steps type in the search bar "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020", it'll then ask you to install depending on if your Microsoft account you bought it on is signed in to the Xbox App on your pc, it'll then download the digital ownership and allow you to access the official launcher of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. 

    If you're still having problems, reply back and I'll gladly give more fixes, if I know how of course lol.

    hope it works!

    Hi, what seemed to make it work for me was updating to the current version 2004 of Windows 10 and the Microsoft rep I was working with also talked me through resetting the app itself.  Go to all apps using the windows button, right click on the microsoft flight simulator app,  then more-settings,  then a new window will open.  Scroll down and hit the Reset/reset button.

    I am not sure which item corrected it for me, or if it was a combination of both as the windows update and the app reset actions were completed at the same time.   I also had to reboot my computer a couple of times because it seemed like it was frozen after restarting the app where the insert disk message did not appear.  It then went into a download screen for 95 Gb which took me about 3 hours to download and install.  It seems to be working now but I don't know how to do anything yet because I haven't hooked up any of my flight items e.g. joystick, yoke. 

    Good Luck.

    my mistake. i turned off the firewall but not the antivirus. after doing that i uninstalled and restart with the installation. now it was different becaus i could see the total amoun of download (in previus phase it was not consider). after that i manually installed the digital ownership.... and now it works.... just waiting for the 95 GB of upgrades... ;)

    thanks a lot for your help
