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.

    Do what i did then Mate and go on the microsoft Assistant app, they will call you back, and a Microsoft Tech bloke will sort it for you, as long as you have Windows 10 there is no charge for this, i am pretty sure they will sort it out for you, i have not had an issue since starts up every time

    Hey,

    I was having the same issue and I went and disabled the Firewall and it worked (I disabled it in Bitdefender), it's downloading the complete game right now. So this seems to be an issue in the Firewall, I will check it later to find out what exactly is the issue there. Can't wait to play. Let me know if this also fixed your issue.

    Regards,

    I have a solution for you, is easy but takes time.

    first I just want you to know. these are all of the method ive tried.

    reset Microsoft store

    reset Gaming services

    Run troubleshoot

    SFC scan

    delete OLE in regedit

    added two (or delete) two folders located in Windows folder (folder name start with App, and cant remember the rest)

    Delete device in Microsoft Account and added again

    sign on/off Microsoft Account

    reinstall MFS and digital ownership

    restart pc like crazy

    watched a tons of YouTube vids for solution

    spend whole day just to search solution on internet

    literally anything you can think of that I've tried

    the easiest way is reinstall Windows and make sure you select delete all drive files (the one it says with less secure) or you can just erase C:\ driver. since all other drive is a backup drive. unless you install Microsoft app on it before, it will leave trace 

    Im downloading 91.36GB in game rn.

    I hope this REINSTALL WINDOWS helps.

    I've gotta say. If the method given by Microsoft aren't working it might be a bug they need to fix on their end. no offense. BECAUSE, ive contact support, and they have no idea how to fix it but giving you lot of method for you to try and troubleshoot them and still didn't work. which it will take way much longer them just do a reinstall of windows and have all other app setup rdy to go.

    Think the easiest way

    btw, be sure to **BACKUP ALL YOUR IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE REINSTALL WINDOWS**

    also I don't think is a region problem, cuz I bought MFS when my region is set to Canada. I set to Taiwan (or any other countries) after reinstall windows and it still works.

    I think might be something to do with Windows update or a "simple error" as computer name (device name) that is causing the problem but why? im not sure. as you can see theres a device section in Microsoft account, might be something to do with that. For example computer A is first registered in Microsoft account after reinstall windows it will registered as computer B which is a brand new PC, but seems you still own the Microsoft account, everything is bind to that account so you will be able to get everything back.

    sry, too much talk here..anyways good luck :)
