I read in a forum many if not all who purchased the premium are seeing the same thing. Me included. It was written that as the regular version hasn't really been released, yet, or installed on your computer, the other two upgrades will not work until it is installed. Guess I'll see if he was right when it is released for install/use.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 will not work on this device?
Hello,
I am excited about the new flight simulator! I just purchased the Premium Deluxe edition from the Microsoft Website and seem to have installed the standard edition. I can see this in the Microsoft Store App. However, the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition have an exclamation point by them, and it sais that this will not work on your device for both the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe edition. I am wondering if I will still be able to access all the features of the Premium Deluxe and Deluxe edition because I paid for them. It seems like the two upgrade versions have not been installed, only the standard edition. It also sais the same thing for a lot of my other apps, but I don't use them. Thank you!

2020-08-18T08:26:09+00:00 So I am still having this issue. As you can see, I have the Premium Deluxe version. But the Upgrades say they won't work on this device. And when I go into the game, it checks for updates, but then continues and doesn't upgrade like yours did. Anyone else still having this issue?
Yes same issue for me. I am not even getting past the initial update screen. Am currently looking at a mainly blank white screen with
"Update Success
[MANDATORY UPDATE] Mandatory updates installed"
On checking my task manager, MFS CPU usage is 35% and power usage "very high", so perhaps something is happening albeit very slowly??

2020-08-18T11:53:39+00:00 Exactly the same issue, and further when i do "launch" the game after the base level application is installed, it goes to the "checking for Upgrades" and then just hangs, keeps trying to download the b787 package (resetting randomly back to restart at 0) and so hand there, or crashes.......NOT GOOD!!! Its been the whole day now with resets, uninstalls and re-installs and no luck yet.....
