Hello Gegedu,

Thank you for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I understand that you no longer have access to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. To further assist, can you please provide additional details to the following questions?

Are you receiving a specific error code while trying to launch the game or is it refusing to launch at all?
Did you recently receive this error after a Windows update or an update with Flight Simulator?
Are any other PC games refusing to launch or having errors other than Flight Simulator?

In the meantime, I’ll list a couple of articles below that may able to help you troubleshoot.

Looking forward to your response!

This should have nothing to do with windows insider. I got it fixed (turns out i could literally just install it this whole time,) but now there is an issue with a certain game. Microsoft Flight Simulator (2023), first I get a COM surrogate (Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item) and it led to the Windows app directory install of MSFS (GameLaunchhelper.exe specifically), then I get a warning on the Xbox app itself stating: Microsoft Flight Simulator couldn't launch. Something went wrong, please try again or click on the error code to learn more.

Yet when I go towards your website, and look for the code... It magically DOESN'T exist. Meaning you guys have never had this problem before, or never bothered to create a tutorial on how to fix it. So, what do I do. (This seems to only be for MSFS right now, all other games seem to be fine ATM)
