    Microsoft Flight Simulator says an update must be installed.

    If the update didn't appear it will be necessary to completely reinstall the game through the Xbox app.
    Hi

    I have not been able to complete a MSFS update since the mandatory update some weeks ago. I have tried to uninstall Xbox and MSFS and reinstall but no mater what I try it fails. If I start it off from inside the xbox app it gets to a screen asking ne to hit any key to start but nothing happens. If I start it off from inside the MS store it gets to the installation manager screen telling me it will download 110.66gig but again nothing happens. it is showing 1.19.8 as the current version.

    I have a new 1660supper Video card with 6gig an I7 38gh and 16 gig of ram.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First, welcome to the Xbox community.

    We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community. The solution to this problem is the solution provided by the agent above, it is a temporary solution that the game developers found for this problem, but it should not work for all Microsoft flight simulator users.

    *If the solution provided above by the agent does not work, it will be necessary to completely reinstall the game through the Xbox application, it will already download all the necessary files, from updates to the game itself.

    *Thank you in advance for contacting us, I hope this can help you.

    Hello c5galaxyvet

    In order to fix the issue, you may want to try the solutions below:.

    Install the 'Xbox' app from the Windows Store and launch it. Then go back to 'Downloads and Updates' in MS Store and 'Get Updates' and the MSFS update may appear.

    This is an official solution from the game developers, which you can check on the link below:

    I appreciate your help, but an illness has put me out of the circuit for over two weeks. Once I get myself together, I'll have to re-evaluate the situation and get back to you.
