I purchased MS Flight Simulator Std version on 19 Oct 2020 but I am unable to download.

I have since downloaded other apps successfully through the store.

I have tried the following steps.

2. Ran Windows App Troublshooter. Reboot
3. Reset Store via command prompt as admin WSreset.exe then Reboot
4. Re-register all Store apps via powershell. Reboot
5. Uninstall and reinstall Store via powershell. Reboot
