    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 freezes while checking for update.


    Hi,

    I have a problem with running microsoft flight simulator 2020 (DVD version).

    Upon launching, the game starts checking for updates and freezes.

    I tried to wait about an hour but nothing happens.

    Is it possible to verify the integrity of the update files or reset update settings?

    :)
