    Microsoft have bricked MSFS 2020 downloads again.


    Firstly downloading MSFS 2020 downloads was broken and it took them two weeks to fix the bug. It seems they have broken it again probably whilst updating it.

    Can't reinstall MSFS 2020 on Windows 10

    On October 30, 2021, I tried downloading again, and it worked. After the download, I was able to launch MSFS 2020, reinstall all the updates, and fly.

    Problem with Xbox Gamingservices and MSFS 2020 on PC windows 10

    Thank you for your reply! Unfortunatler none of the actions works. I uninstalled MSFS 2020 and even formatted the disc it was installed on.

    The problem now is that both MSFS 2020 and Xbox Gameservices in Microsoft Store are marked with error and requires new download/ update which are also marked with error message as soon as I try to do anything.

    No matter what ever I have tried so far ( Windows Store repair, Windows Store repair and components update, among others plus reinstalling Xbox app) I am still not able to install MSFS again.

    Maybe the only solution is to reinstall Windows?

    Latest mandatory update for flight simulator 2020 not showing up or downloading in microsoft store.

    I can also confirm this worked for me on PC. I downloaded the XBOX app via the store.

    Then, in store, clicked the three dots.

    Then "downloads and updates" and sure enough there was an update for MSFS 2020 1.19.9.0. This was 507.0MB.

    I then started MSFS 2020 which went to its own install manager and showed me the "Standard Content" mandatory update which was 108.12MB. The total download, however, was 3.19GB.

    I then downloaded all available updates in content manager.

    Once all this was complete I quit to desktop and restarted MSFS 2020 without issue.

    I think it's VERY strange to need to install the XBOX app for any updates to show in the PC's Microsoft store!!

    moving away from steam

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good night

    First you need to uninstall the game through steam, and then install it from the microsoft store.

    If you have already made the purchase through the microsoft store, confirm here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/
    I tried the following

    Here are the steps I followed

    1. Remove MSFS 2020 from steam

    2. Delete the steam account on the steam web page

    3. Uninstall steam on my PC

    4. Go to MSFS store and buy MSFS 2020

    5. Install MSFS 2020

    6. Launch by double clicking the application.

    -- When I did this I got an error about this gamertag already connected to some other or something like that. ---

    Did I miss something?
