    MSFS won’t launch


    Hangs on launch (blue bar). The in-game server is not communicating with MSFS.

    I have conducted extensive troubleshooting with MSFS team with no resolution, their recommendation was to engage Microsoft to determine if there is an authentication issue with the in-game server.

    My connectivity (IPv4 & IPv6) is working perfectly and there is no restriction from the Firewall. I have tried using a VPN, so ISP is not the culprit.

    I have signed out of MS Store and Xbox, reset the MS Store, reloaded MSFS, Xbox app and Gaming Services app - no resolution.

    :)

    MSFS won’t launch

    I have engaged Microsoft Flightsim Support since March to resolve this problem and they have finally posted the following message:

    "It seems that this is an issue that we are not able to resolve. If it has something to do with your account or authentication, you need to contact Microsoft Support. They can check your account to make sure there isn't anything wrong there that is causing the issue, and do other diagnostics as well.
    The Microsoft Support agents have the tools and qualifications required to assist with Microsoft Store & Windows 10|11 issues, and they can remotely take control of your system when necessary."

    The issue is not with my PC or software or Firewall or ISP, there is an issue with the in-game Azure server and my account.

    Please help to resolve this issue with my account authentication with the in-game server.

    Hello GBBarling, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor ready to assist with this

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this unexpected situation with Flight simulator.

    May I know if you tried using a different internet connection to discard an issue with your ISP?

    For example connecting your PC to a mobile hotspot.

    Or, may I know if you tried disabling all the antivirus protections temporarily before trying again?

    And please tell me briefly what you tried to fix the problem so far before creating this post

    Hi,

    Is the ISP not isolated by using a VPN?

    Reference: https://surfshark.com/blog/can-isp-see-vpn

    "VPNs use a technology that offers different protocols (visible to your ISP) to provide a safe connection. Even though your ISP sees what protocol you’re using, they cannot take any information from it, so it doesn’t affect you in any way.

    Your ISP can guess what activity you’re doing based on the amount of bandwidth you are using – for example, streaming, torrents, downloaded files, etc. But, they won’t be able to see what you are downloading."

    The VPN isolates the data packets from the ISP, so there is no capacity to block data from transiting between your PC to the VPN server.

    Issue remains whether using a VPN or not. To me, this indicates the ISP is not responsible for this issue.

    Hello there

    Seems like you tried a lot of things, and you covered almost everything including a Windows reinstallation.

    But I think worth trying to play the game using a different internet connection to discard completely the issue with ISP

    I haven't see a similar issue with Flight simulator here in the Microsoft forums.

    May I know if you tried to create a post in the Flight sim forums?
