Can't download MSFS2020

SuperDwagDog · Aug 27, 2020

Whenever I start the download it immediately stops showing an error message with the code of: 0x80073CF3. A lot of other threads have this same code. I think it has something to do with Xbox game pass. When first downloading it the digital ownership download
says it needs the others to download first. Then when i download the others the Microsoft flight simulator download shows the Code: 0x80073CF3. I have tried 6 hours of watching YouTube clips to fix but they all don't work. Here are some pictures. They are
in order of first to last in events.

Having the EXACT same issue...

I rebooted, just to see if that would clear the store mess up and now, it only shows one download, that fails every time. It says Wait a few minutes, the update failed, Code: 0x80073CF3. I reported the problem, but for now, can't install it.

I tried this. Got the digital ownership to download. Tried getting the simulator to run. Still get black screen, small circle appears in bottom right corner and then disappears after a few seconds and then back to just a black screen.I've had the programme
since about Aug 21st and I've tried all the early recommendations to fix it along with numerous clean installs with the new patch.

Try going through the trouble shooter and reset it. It helped me

Hi guys. So i've recently also wanted to copy over my MSFS2020 from my PC to my laptop and followed the instructions posted by DeckedBeret1566. I have copied the 'Official' and 'Community' folder from my PC (D:\Games\MSFS2020) to my laptop (C:\Games\MSFS2020).
However when I select (C:\Games\MSFS2020) in the installer, it proceeds to download the entire game from scratch. Perhaps I am missing something?

Hello.

I solved the problem and from the Store I downloaded MSFS2020 again.

Thank you
