MSFS Download restarts

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Redtronics, have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 21H2, because recently came out the latest update to Windows 10 and 11.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update and then make all subsequent security updates.

Updates often seen as optional, Microsoft released major fixes this week, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed.

not sure what else to say, the download restarts certain files if its going to fast, its a solution posted on msfs forums.

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!!

Hi, i have MSFS through XBOX on PC. its showing the update is 0B / 0B so basically downloading nothing.
I have not seen this problem before and restarting the game/PC does nothing.

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.
