Microsoft Flight Simulator - this app can't open - Error

Hello Afruzu how are you?

My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant.

What appears when you try to connect your internet on your Xbox? Are there any error codes or warnings?

Yes you can play this game offline, however you need to download content from it so you can play offline.

1-Open "My Games & Apps" on the Xbox console by choosing the "My Games & Apps" tile on the Xbox Dashboard or by opening the Xbox Guide and choosing the "My Games & Apps" option.
2-Find Microsoft Flight Simulator in the "Games" section of "My Games & Apps". Note: If you are installing or pre-installing Microsoft Flight Simulator, the game will immediately appear in the "Games" section and you can do this during installation.
3-Open the Microsoft Flight Simulator "More Options" menu by highlighting Microsoft Flight Simulator under "My Games & Apps" and pressing the "Menu" button on your Xbox controller.
4-In the Microsoft Flight Simulator "More options" menu, navigate to the "Manage games and add-ons" option and open it.
5-On the Microsoft Flight Simulator "Manage Games and Add-ons" screen, highlight and open "Microsoft Flight Simulator" on the right side of the screen.
In the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" menu, navigate to and select the "Manage installation to (storage device)" option.
7-On the Microsoft Flight Simulator "Manage Installation" screen, navigate to the "World - offline mode" add-on in the Microsoft Flight Simulator base game. Note: Selecting the "World - Offline Mode" add-on will install it, while unchecking it will either uninstall the add-on or prevent it from being installed.
8-After making the changes, navigate and select the "Save Changes" option on the right side of the screen.
9-Your Xbox will automatically update the Microsoft Flight Simulator installation in the background.

Hello janhrabal1,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. I understand that you are unable to select "fly" while attempting to play Flight Simulator. By chance, is this only happening with one specific aircraft? Have you noticed this error with other aircrafts?

Users seeing similar errors have had success resolving it by downloading any updates for the game. Please open the Microsoft Store app and search for "Microsoft Flight Simulator" and download any updates that may appear. This is still suggested even if you downloaded the game through Game Pass, it will not install the game a second time.

If the error persists, you may respond back to this thread but I would also suggest opening a ticket with the Flight Simulator team at Flight Simulator - Submit a Request.

Thank you,

-Tali

Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. Please accept our sincerest hope that all is well.



From the description provided it seems your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 game would not launch after setting up a new monitor in your computer. You get the following error message: "This app can't open, Check the Windows Store for more info about Microsoft Flight Simulator."



To better assist you I need to ask:



1) What version of Windows are you using? We specifically need the edition and version number of Windows your device is running. To find out which version of Windows your device is running, press the Windows logo key + R, type winver in the Open box, and then select OK. You'll get the window below and we need the information highlighted in red.







2) Can you tell us how much free space your C drive has? Please use our Find out how much storage your PC has guide.



3) Can you provide us a photo of your System Information window similar to the sample below? To get to this window please type msinfo32 in the Search box. Right-click System Information in the search results and select Run as administrator.





4) If you performed the clean boot procedure from the link below does that resolve the issue?

Here's how I fixed it:

Open your start menu

Right click on Microsoft Flight Simulator

Choose More>App Settings

Scroll down to the "Reset" section

Click both the "Repair" button, and also the "Reset" button.

Re-launch Microsoft Flight Simulator
