Windows 10: MFS 2020 Stuck on "Checking for updates"

Hello,

I was able to download MFS 2020 and play with it 2 or 3 times with no problems. But now, I get 2 errors when I start the game:


1: We can't sync your data with the cloud right now

2: If I ignore above message and continue, the game gets stuck with "Checking for updates" and never starts.


I tried all the suggestions I have seen on the web incl. starting as administrator, latest Nvidia drivers, latest windows updates, disable firewall with no change.

I also uninstalled the game 3 times and re-installed it, and again, same problem.

I moved the game to a different drive and same problem.


When I uninstall the game, the free disk space on the drive remains the same. When I move the game to a different drive, the free disk space on both drives remains he same and the re-install is much, much quicker than the original first install. This can only mean than uninstalling the game does not remove the original files, nor does it free disk space used by flight simulator.


This is really frustrating. I should be able to do a complete uninstall that deletes ALL the MFS 2020 installation files.


Any other suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,

Maurice

Windows 10 May 2020 Update Failing - MCT Stuck at 31%, Update Assistant 99%

Trying to manually update to Win10 May 2020 - 2004 build.

Currently at 1909, regular 'Check for updates' does not detect anything needed.

Looking at the update log (Get-WindowsUpdateLog) - it always ends with

> 2020/06/12 11:35:33.8074436 14224 9372 Shared * END * Service exit Exit code = 0x240001

Yet the updater will remain open for hours with no progress.

Media Creation Tool gets stuck at 31%

Update Assistant at 99%

I've run

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow

After rebooting when they got stuck.

Also attempted the ResetWUEng suggested -

Ran through -

2. Resets the Windows Update Components.

3. Deletes the temporary files in Windows.

Here's a quick laundry list:

windows update stuck at installation screen and cannot get to desktop

Hi Sue,

To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

• Is the computer stuck in the Installing updates screen?
• For how long is the computer stuck in the screen?
• When was the computer last updated?
• Is the screen showing any percentage of installation?

Sometimes the installation might take a long time to install if the update is of large size. So, I suggest you to wait for sometime and check if the system boots to the desktop. If it is taking a longer time, then perform a Power Drain by following the steps
provided below:

• Shut down the Computer.
• Remove all power source (including battery if it is a laptop).
• Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds.
• Connect the power source and start the computer.
• After the computer boots to the desktop, suggest you to install all the pending updates.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Thank you.
