    Cannot run, uninstall or install MSFS2020 from MS Store


    I bought MSFS 2020 from the Microsoft Store. It's always had issues, but now seems to be totally stuck. I can't run it says the device it's on is no longer connected uninstall it reports an error and tells me to "try again later" or install it store offers only "play" as an option.


    I've tried resetting the store, signing out and signing in, resetting and repairing MSFS, everything I could find online.


    What do I do?

    :)

  2. Uninstalling MS Store apps?

    I uninstalled them (Revo Uninstaller) but in MS Store all the apps are still on the list... with "Install" button next to them. I want to remove them from that list.

    Cannot run, uninstall or install MSFS2020 from MS Store

    Unable to uninstall or reinstall msfs2020

    I recently upgraded my system hardware from the motherboard out, retaining ssd's and hdd's. I had MSFS 2020 installed on an SSD separate from the SSD on which the OS (Win10 Pro) was installed. I used cloning software to clone the OS drive onto a new nvme
    drive, successfully. I purchased a new Win10 Pro license, and successfully activated it as required for the new motherboard.

    All my other apps and programs operate as intended, including Office 365, various Adobe apps and other flight sim software (Prepar3D, etc.) When I started MSFS however, it initially showed that an update was required. The update failed. Subsequent retries
    and various other solutions posted here and elsewhere concerning how to fix the MS Store and/or MSFS2020 have failed.

    Attempting direct file removal has also failed since the folder that is created for MSFS is inaccessible even for the system administrator. I've taken ownership of that folder and still cannot rename or remove the files.

    All I want is a clean removal and reinstall action of MSFS2020. I've paid for the high end version of that flight sim, I expect to be able to use it.

    Suggestions?
