None of these solutions worked. Also because of this I couldn't get to the part where you actually install the game.

Did you give it permission to access your account when you started it?

Hello Everett K, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Microsoft Flight Simulator after installing it via the Xbox app. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the crashing issue:

1. Visit the official website of your graphics card manufacturer (Nvidia) and download the latest drivers for your GTX 1650. Install the drivers and restart your computer. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can sometimes cause crashes in games.

2. Right-click on the MSFS icon or shortcut and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. This can help ensure that the game has the necessary permissions to run properly.

3. Some background applications or processes may interfere with MSFS. Try closing unnecessary applications and disabling any overlay software (such as Discord overlay, MSI Afterburner, or GeForce Experience overlay) before launching the game.

4. Certain software, such as antivirus programs or system optimization tools, can interfere with game performance. Temporarily disable or add exceptions for MSFS in your antivirus software, and consider disabling any system optimization or performance-enhancing tools.

5. If you installed MSFS via the Xbox app, there should be an option to verify the game files within the app. Go to your library or the MSFS page in the Xbox app, and look for an option to verify or repair the installation. This will check for any corrupted or missing files and attempt to fix them.

6. If the crashing persists, try lowering the graphics settings within the game. Lowering settings like the resolution, texture quality, and graphics presets can reduce the strain on your system and potentially improve stability.

7. Perform a clean boot of your system to rule out any conflicts caused by third-party software. Instructions for performing a clean boot can be found on the Microsoft support website.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards.
