    Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 won't launch, black screen then app crash.


    I have updated all drivers and tried reinstalling the app.

    System specs: i713700k, RTX 4070TI, 32 gb of ram, on windows 10.

    I meet all system requirements, but I can't open the game at all.

    :)

    I have Error: 0x8007042b when launch Flight Simulation and Forza Horizon 5 via PC game pass.

    I have this error when I try to launch Forza Horizon 5 and Flight Simulator. Launch Xbox app is fine.

    This issue start at first time launch. I never play Forza and flight sim in my life.

    Flight Simulator 2020 (Press any key to start)

    I had this (Press any key to start loop) issue after I logged out of my Xbox account other day prior to closing the sim. After all, what do I need an X box account for I'm on a PC. I downloaded and installed the Xbox beta app to get Flight Sim up and
    running again per a suggestion here. However today the same problem re appeared. I went into the app for Flight Sim as someone here suggested, and tried repair and refresh. Then I tried starting Flight Sim up and this time got a black screen after pressing
    a key with the same message. Went into the Xbox app and tried running from there. It showed I owned Flight sim but still no dice. So I downloaded and reinstalled Flight Sim. The day of release it took thirteen hours to download on a giga bit fiber line.
    This time a little over an hour. Started right up no problem after the reinstall. Bottom line, don't log out of your Xbox account. Just close the sim.
