    Unable to uninstall or reinstall msfs2020


    I recently upgraded my system hardware from the motherboard out, retaining ssd's and hdd's. I had MSFS 2020 installed on an SSD separate from the SSD on which the OS Win10 Pro was installed. I used cloning software to clone the OS drive onto a new nvme drive, successfully. I purchased a new Win10 Pro license, and successfully activated it as required for the new motherboard.


    All my other apps and programs operate as intended, including Office 365, various Adobe apps and other flight sim software Prepar3D, etc. When I started MSFS however, it initially showed that an update was required. The update failed. Subsequent retries and various other solutions posted here and elsewhere concerning how to fix the MS Store and/or MSFS2020 have failed.


    Attempting direct file removal has also failed since the folder that is created for MSFS is inaccessible even for the system administrator. I've taken ownership of that folder and still cannot rename or remove the files.


    All I want is a clean removal and reinstall action of MSFS2020. I've paid for the high end version of that flight sim, I expect to be able to use it.


    Suggestions?

    :)

    uninstall/reinstall

    Hi Patricia,

    There are several reasons why your game can't be uninstall. It's either the programs are not properly installed, or there are missing and corrupted files on your operating system. To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps to resolve your
    concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • What is the name of the game that you want to uninstall then reinstall?
    • How did you install this game?
    We look forward to your response.

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Unable to uninstall or reinstall msfs2020 :confused:
