I am running MSFS on Xbox series X. When I updated MSFS to U15, all went well except that...

Ok. That allowed MSFS to start. Now MSFS is giving me a message that a required update is needed and to update from the Microsoft store. But I've run the updates from the store and it says everything is up to date and MSFS doesn't give me an option to trigger a manual update.

So now what?

I can also confirm this worked for me on PC. I downloaded the XBOX app via the store.

Then, in store, clicked the three dots.

Then "downloads and updates" and sure enough there was an update for MSFS 2020 1.19.9.0. This was 507.0MB.

I then started MSFS 2020 which went to its own install manager and showed me the "Standard Content" mandatory update which was 108.12MB. The total download, however, was 3.19GB.

I then downloaded all available updates in content manager.

Once all this was complete I quit to desktop and restarted MSFS 2020 without issue.

I think it's VERY strange to need to install the XBOX app for any updates to show in the PC's Microsoft store!!

Hi

Thank you for your reply

My controller is an Amazon Luna and it works fine with MSFS on my Samsung Smart TV and with all other games on my PC

But MSFS crashes if I open with the controller already paired with my pc or if I connect after opening the simulator

It is almost impossible to control within MSFS with a keyboard

MY Luna is running with the latest updates

Any suggestions?

I don't have it on pc. Msfs is run on xbox

I was like you, if I had to add Xbox software, etc. I was ready to forget MSFS and go back to X-plane. As I mentioned previously, I do not have Xbox and have no plans to but for whatever reason the install finally finished without me doing anything except
waiting a while. From other posts on this board, some have had success by installing Xbox (beta). I did purchase MSFS 2020 from the Microsoft Store.

Good luck!
