    MS-Store will not install Flight Simulator


    I've been running MSFS for several months.On Friday, MS released a bunch of updates. Applied all, then when tried to start MSFS it takes me to the MS-Store.The store will not install anything. I've tried many, many pieces of advice from emptying a cache, to logging out and in from store, nothing works.Following advice I got here, I de-installed MSFS, now I cannot get it to reinstall from the Store. Nothing will install from Store.On my PC, I'm logged into my Microsoft account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** which is an administratorIn the Store, I'm logged on under the userid I purchased MSFS with

    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.

    Cant install flight simulator.

    Hi AdrianRivera1,

    As stated above you manage to change the storage location to another drive. Do try to redownload again the app from the MS store. Uninstall the initial phase of flight simulator by pressing the windows key type Flight simulator. Right-click on the app then
    select uninstall. Reboot your PC then download again Flight Simulator at MS store from scratch. MS store should download and install the app directly on the Drive that you choose when changing the default storage of MS store.

    Best regards,

    Van

    MS-Store will not install Flight Simulator

    MS Flight Simulator & Windows 10

    Since installing Windows 10, I cannot run MS Flight Simulator 2004. I have taken the following steps with no results. The application simply will not load.

    I have:

    Tried running the program as an Administrator

    Used the command line to open my Admin account

    Tried running the program in Compatibility Mode

    Tried running the Compatibility Mode Troubleshooter

    Uninstalled and re-installed the program

    Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

    Thanks very much.
