Thank you so much for the information.

Please give me an update if the technician is able to fix the issue.

Over the past 6 hours I have spoken to technicians from MS Store, Windows and Xbox, who have systematically looked at my PC from within (shared). The bottom line is that this is a new issue, not seen before. An Xbox technician has now used another account to access MSFS and start to download the App. He will call me again in the morning to continue as it will run for a few hours etc. Fortunately the person uses MSFS and can assist to see if it can be resolved using my accounts.

I've tried all the suggestions you posted and my MsFS just hangs on the loading screen. It started before the new su10 release for me. I decided to upgrade my NVMe hard-drive to 1TB. This past weekend I installed windows 10 and installed all updates and drivers. Then installed MSFS on this fresh hard drive with fresh windows install...and after installation I have the same issue. Background music is still playing and the blue bar is all the way to the right. I've checked my hardware and all is functioning as expected and no high temperature issues.

Been trying all week to get this to work. Very disappointed.

I don't even have WIFI in my desktop PC, it's gigabit ethernet all the way and it still doesn't work.

Edit:

I went to "Reset this PC" in Windows 10, wiped everything (clean install), installed only Google Chrome and Steam (no drivers or other software), installed MSFS from Steam and it still doesn't work. The problem is definitely either in MSFS itself or with
their servers.
