Flight Simulator will not uninstall

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Kindly reply: Did you receive any error message when you tried to uninstall flight simulator?

I would suggest you try uninstall Flight Simulator from the safe mode.

Follow the steps to go to the safe mode.

• Press Windows key and click on the Power icon.
• Click on Restart while pressing the
  Shift key.
• A blue screen will appear with a few options.
  Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings > Startup Settings > Restart.
• Your system will restart, once you click on
  Restart. After the Manufacturer's logo display, you will view a blue screen with several options. Click
  F5 or 5 to go to Safe Mode with Networking.
• Once you have logged into safe mode with networking, press
  Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.
• Under Programs, click on
  Uninstall a program.
• Search for Flight Simulator and select
  Uninstall.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

Hi Harry,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Activation is required to unlock all the features of the particular game. In order to activate Flight Simulator X you need to have the product key, which you would have received when you purchase the game.

• Do you receive any error code when you try to activate Flight Simulator X?

If you are receiving any error code while trying to activate Flight Simulator, you can refer the articles
