Flight simulator 2020 stuck in loop at beginning asking "press any key to start"

Cbonz77 · Aug 30, 2020

Just started today, been working fine. I hate to re download as it takes three hours. Any solutions?

I respond by pressing any key, many keys, hundred of freaking keys. All it does is go black screen and then back to the same thing.

BTW, the only way to shut it down is to go to task manager and kill fs 2020

HELP!

I don't have a solution, but Alt+F4 works to exit at the "Press Any Key" prompt so you don't have to use Task Manager.

Actually, mine works now - the Xbox (Beta) and Gaming Services apps had updates. You can open the Microsoft Store app and select "Downloads and updates" from the menu on the top right to check for that.

Flight Simulator 2020 I open it and at the start it says "Press any key to start" and I press a key and it just flashes and says the same message again and it just keeps happening no matter what key I press or how many times I keep trying.

Many people get stuck with the download of FS 2020. But there is not even a manual available!!! No Key code is being sent!! But they take the payment. Yes!!

I have the same problem with the premium deluxe edition. I was able to install the whole 90+ gb and play with it for over an hour and now the damn press any key keeps on looping back and won't do anything else than tell me to press any key. Guess that's
what you get today for paying almost $180 bucks Canadian.
