MSFS 2020 Download "flickering" on same file, doesn't progress

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!!

This is happening to me and I’ve just reinstalled 200gb+ after a console reset.

Come on Microsoft. This is an issue.

Your denying developers money if this isn’t fixed.

I’ll give it a week or two then I’m buying a PS5. Stuff MSFS. Had so many problems do something that’s a console based game.

Hello,

Is there really no other option than having to do a full reset??

No really ok.

Why does it say "Another transaction in progress"?

Any Microsoft employees here that can answer to that?

We had exactly the same issue until yesterday. We got the same responses from Zendesk, log out/log in, check payment options, uninstall and reinstall the game etc. Contacted Microsoft, no great help there either, ended up sending me to Zendesk anyway.

Here's how we finally resolved the issue ourselves,

We reset the xbox console to a factory reset. It's working perfectly now.

Hope this helps someone

Hello Kryptikality,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. Have you tried fully uninstalling the game and reinstalling it to see if that clears any of the transactional issues you are experiencing? We understand it's a big game, but try that and see if you are still experiencing those issues.
