    Microsoft Flight Simulator Won't Launch


    I've just installed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Whenever I click "play" it simply won't load. I've restarted my PC several times. My Windows is updated. I've uninstall and reinstalled the app. I've even reinstalled it on different drives. I used to have the game on my previous PC and it ran fine, however I cannot even install it now.Edit: I've now received "Microsoft Flight Simulator is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001"

    :)

    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.
