    MS Flight Simulator 2020 not launching due to mandatory update?


    When I launch MSFS20 it gets to the load screen (with the scenery and music) and then up comes a dialog saying there's a mandatory update from the Microsoft Store. When you click "OK" it closes the game and launches the Store...but there is no update. What is this? There's nothing queued in Windows Update in the settings, and all my apps are up to date in the Store. Do I need to do a clean uninstall and resintall of the game and data or something?

    I've checked some threads and it seems there are others having this problem but didn't appear there was much resolution.

    System Info:

    -Windows 10 Pro 21H1 (19043.1266 build number; 120.2212.3920.0 Windows Feature Experience Pack)

    -Intel i7

    -16GB RAM

    -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card

    Truly baffling. It was working a month ago, and now it doesn't. Any ideas?

    :)

    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.

    To solve this please try the official solution provided by the game developers. For this follow the instructions 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.

    - If that doesn't work it will be necessary to completely reinstall the game through the Xbox app, if the issue is not resolved I recommend you try contacting game support they will be able to give you more details on why this is happening. To contact them use the link below.

    Probably, Microsoft will make available in its next consoles connectivity and keyboard and mouse support, both wired and via bluetooth, because with the launch of Flight Simulator 2020 for XBOX, the use of these devices will be almost mandatory...
