Windows 10: Microsoft Flight Simulator MSFS 2020

I can no longer access my MSFS 2020 sim on my Windows 10 PC. There is a new app appearing titled "User Account Control". It asks if I want to allow the "Microsoft Store Package Dependency Installer" to change any settings on my PC. When I click-on "Yes", a new message appears advising me that I need to purchase the sim again. I know the sim is still installed on my PC, but how do I get to it without purchasing it all over again?

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Hi. I have two questions:

1) I have been using Flight Simulator since its release on Aug 18. Today, I stated the Simulator, it loaded OK, I created a free flight, clicked on Fly, when I tried to use the joystick and keyboard to start and use the simulator, they both did not work
and would not control anything...they were unresponsive. Checked the Controllers section in the Simulator set up section and the keyboard and Thrustmaster M1600 Joystick were listed and the keyboard and joystick action assignments were still there and responded
when I clicked a joystick button and keyboard key....the assignment box in the Controller section responded when I pressed a key or button. Rebooted the computer with no change. Do you have any suggestions?

2) How do I uninstall and reinstall MSFS 2020 in the event that is the only way to fix this problem? Please provide instructions and where to download the MSFS 2020 Premium Deluxe Edition from.

Thank you...Malcolm

 

Is Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) better now?

MS Flight Simulator 2020, as of today has had a number of updates. It isn't the same as it was when released (3 months ago?). One was a people driven update of Japan..... It's a beautiful country and MSFS wasn't doing it justice

My system, although I originally hadn't MSFS in mind when I bought it, does Okay running it.... Usually running a High graphics setting unless I'm doing something fast & crazy like buzzing downtown Vegas, where just knocking the Graphics back to Medium does the trick. Normally I get framerates around 28FPS or so, even with a marginal Graphics Card

Big issues would be not having an SSD.... loading times are extremely slow. Time enough to cook dinner or take a shower. No, NOT exaggerating and speaking from experience

It's a HUGE simulation so the recommended 16 GB of RAM is really more a minimum, 32 GB or more really is noticably better

Memory Rule for games: You can never have too much

Disk space is critical..... They aren't exaggerating 150 GB.... I have the minimum (Basic) package and it runs at slightly over 100 GB

A good Flight Control System is a must (Fancy-schmancy joystick with many buttons).... especially if you want to buzz Downlown Vegas or the St Louise Arch. The demand for FCS sticks has gone way up, I bought my Thrustmaster used at $66 and latest I saw they are running at over $140 used, only 2 months later

Overall, MSFS has ran well for me. Would suggest getting on Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums if you are having difficulties

Here's the system specs from the MSFS Website

 

Problem with MSFS 2020

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is not working - hung up on "press any key" I think I have been hacked at the last up grade.
