Windows 10: Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 reinstallation issue

Yesterday FS2020 having worked fine for months suddenly went to Microsoft Store when trying to launch. Looking at the web this seems to be a common problem. I uninstalled the program but when I try and reinstall I just get error after a few seconds of pressing install. I have manually gone through and deleted all files relating to FS 2020, rebooted upteen times. Any ideas of how to solve this and get the game working again?Nick

Microsoft Flight Sim 2020

I am in need of help. I have paid and downloaded through the Microsoft store the premier version of flight sim 2020. I was flying an aircraft and tried to follow a keyboard combination to predefine a camera view. I must have selected the wrong key combination
as all of a sudden the plane goes into some time of auto control for throttle and flying control. In otherword whenever i launch the program no matter what plane the plane starts accelerating down the run way and goes into the air. It won't accept any joystick
input (Saitek X-56). So i defaulted the settings for the sticks but no good. I unplugged the sticks and restarted flight using keyboard controls. Nothing. I uninstalled Flight through the start menu and reinstalled it. No luck.

I need help either to completely uninstall flight sim 2020 or find out what I did on accident that has screwed up this program. I believe the keys I hit were contrl/alt/x/1. I'm not positive but I think I did.

Could someone give me options on what to do? I need someone that knows windows well I i don't want to reinstall windows from scratch. Is there a way to completely uninstall flight sim 2020 completely and then try re-installing. I'm guessing the UNinstall
from the start menu doesn't completely remove all flight sim files.

Thanks
