Msfs2020 download failure of updates

FransHettinga · Nov 6, 2021

Msfs2020 fails download of an update. Failure 0x80070424. Latest succesful update was 1.19.9.0 Eventually deleted and reinstalled the game, then you are guided to MS Store for finishing the installation. but in MS Store after the update enter, the failure indication follows coded 0x80070424. No possibility to start FS. The installation of FS is not finished.

Tried all the suggestions from the FS helpdesk but nothing helps. The version is the standard FS DVD box.

I hope someone a suggestion to solve this problem.

There is an official solution provided by the MSFS support team via twitter: https://twitter.com/MSFS_Support/status/1435282985490599938

The solution consist of the following steps:

Install the Xbox App from the Windows Store (link) and launch it

If the Xbox app is already installed, try to repair/Reset Xbox app:

Select Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features
Select the Xbox app
Select the Advanced options link under the name of the app.
On the page that opens, select Repair if it's available. If it isn't available or doesn't fix the problem, select Reset.
Start Xbox app and launch the game

I hope it helps

Hello LarryDeery,

Try to clear the Microsoft Store cache by following the steps below:

Press Windows Key + R to launch Run.
Enter wsreset.exe and hit Enter.
Once the reset process finished, restart your PC and then check again.

I have not had any issue with connecting to the server with MSFS2020 on the Xbox X since the launch date.

I am now reinstalling MSFS2020 and will try again and give an update

Hi guys. So i've recently also wanted to copy over my MSFS2020 from my PC to my laptop and followed the instructions posted by DeckedBeret1566. I have copied the 'Official' and 'Community' folder from my PC (D:\Games\MSFS2020) to my laptop (C:\Games\MSFS2020).
However when I select (C:\Games\MSFS2020) in the installer, it proceeds to download the entire game from scratch. Perhaps I am missing something?
