Hello, Francisco. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

How is your setup to install MS Flight Simulator? I mean, if you own a flight institution (or aeronautical engineering institution) with computers, you can install and license MS Flight Simulator on these computers and let the students use these computers on your education institution.

Now if you want to license MS Flight Simulator to be used on your students home computer (which will change like every year or so), it'll be a different situation.

I think the best option for you is to contact Microsoft about Flight Simulator by submitting a support ticket here (it's the official MS Flight Simulator Support channel):

I got the same freaking problem. I've activated the key for MS Flight Simulator 2020 Premium Deluxe Edition on sunday. Then I opened the MS Store (Win10 21H2) and installed the XBox App. After that I opened the XBox App and started the installation of MS Flight Simulator 2020 and after a few seconds Boom -> BSOD - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

I had to recover my system from the last point I've done.

I've tried every hint I have found on the internet and I had already contact with the MS Support. No fix for that until now.

Otherwise I can start any other app and game. Such as MS Office 360, Steam, iRacing etc. no problem ...

Every time I try to install from the XBox App -> BSOD
