Easiest way just download from the store

Thank you for your response but I have now solved my issue by taking out a Game Pass and will be using Cloud Gaming as my computer is not a high enough spec for the graphics. Thanks for your help.

A 16 digit code is not a microsoft code., those are 25

So thst would be your first issue.

From where did you purchase it?

Hello,

So it's not clear what's going on here for me currently -- could you clarify: where are you downloading it from? Steam or the Microsoft Store App? If I'm clear all steam does is launch the MSFS Launcher, and that's where the downloads take place - if so it is 100% a developer issue that only the developer can fix. I doubt that it is the operating system itself that is the issue if everything else works fine -- it is 100% the game. If not and its a Microsoft Store App issue, then you should engage Windows Support - but that doesn't seem like the case here.

I wouldn't recommend a clean install if that's what you don't want to do because I don't know or think that it will solve the issue if every other program is working correctly. As you've stated:

• Windows 10 Pro issue. Though all other services relating to internet are working flawless
  
• MSFS2020 incoming traffic is blocked by Internet provider.
  
• MSFS2020 download service is blocked in my region
  

These all point to an issue with the game directly - not your provider, not your PC, and not your region. If anything the issue is the installer.

You can try these options, but I genuinely don't think, in my personal opinion, doing clean install of Windows is guaranteed to fix the problem:

• Microsoft Store version - How to repair or remove and do a clean install of Microsoft Flight Simulator – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)
  
• Steam - How to repair, remove and do a clean install of Microsoft Flight Simulator – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)
  
• How to Uninstall and reinstall without downloading entire MSFS - Community / General Discussion - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
  
• Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed (microsoft.com)
  

Best of Luck,
