  1. Flight Simulator / Gaming Services


    Hello all,


    I downloaded an update to Flight Simulator today I'm using Bootcamp from a Macbook, now the simulator doesn't open. It goes straight to the MS Store, specifically to GAMING SERVICES. It tells me to download, which I try to do. Nothing. To the left of that screen it says I already have Gaming Services installed.


    I've restarted the machine twice, nothing. There are several other people out there with the same problem apparently, asking various help boards. One apparent fix was to open Power Shell and start dinking around...I'm not informed enough to start going into file systems.


    Does anyone know what's going on with this? More importantly, does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do? And: if a MS rep is out there listening, why??


    Thanks very much.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Flight Simulator issue after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hi Rahul,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



    I suggest you to completely uninstall Microsoft Flight Simulator and check.

    Refer the steps below to uninstall.

    • Press “Windows key + X”, select Control panel.
    • Open programs and features.
    • In the list of installed programs, select Microsoft Flight Simulator, and then click
      Remove.


    Note: If you have earlier versions of Flight Simulator in the list of installed programs, you will have to remove them in addition to Flight Simulator.



    Reinstall the Flight Simulator.



    Please reply to us if the issue still persist.
