  1. MS-Store won't install Flight Simulator but will install others


    I've had MSFS for several months. Friday, Microsoft sent updates and after that, opening MSFS causes the Store to open. The Store won't perform any updates. Someone else on this forum told me to de-install and re-install MSFS. De-install worked, Re-install does not.Store will install other stuff, just not MSFS. I paid hundreds for the software and all the add-ons and now Microsoft won't help me. Why will Microsoft not stand behind their products?

    :)

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    Flight Simulator Install Issue

    Hi,

    I installed Flight Simulator on my work PC, but it was not fast enough to play the game. I am trying to install it on my Home PC now. I click Install in the Microsoft Store Account, and it downloads and installs, and then I get an alert that it is installed.
    However, nothing else happens.

    I have tried clicking "Microsoft Flight Simulator" in the Start Menu, but it will not do anything or load. I have also tried Running as Admin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and it will not do anything.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.
