  1. MSFS2020 Won't Boot


    Good evening,

    I've had MSFS2020 almost since launch and it's worked fine until about a half a year ago. The game will boot the launcher, close it, and never properly launch the game. Only way I've been able to fix it is by uninstalling and reinstalling it, but even then it only lasts a few weeks before it does the same thing again. I've gone through many steps before to fix it, this is what I've done other than uninstalling and reinstalling it:

    1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app
    2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset. Do this with the game too.
    3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.
    4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.
    5. Press the Windows Button then type Services.
    Right-click over the Services App from the list of results.
    Then select Run as Administrator
    Scroll to the bottom and find the following services:
    IP Helper
    Xbox Live Auth Manager,
    Xbox Live Game Save,
    Xbox Live Networking Service,
    Gaming Services.
    Do this with each of the services listed above.
    Right-click over the service and select Properties.
    Find the Startup type section and make sure it’s set to Automatic.
    If the service isn’t started, click Start to start the services.

    Click Apply and OK to save changes.

    6. Restart your PC

    This was from another thread but nothing has worked, any other possible solution? Cause it's currently unusable

    :)

    MSFS2020 won't open

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

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Diamond, I did a quick search on this error and found a possible solution, however I believe this is more related to Windows 11 and later should release some fix.

    Hi,

    I'm afraid it won't run at all on those specs. Your CPU is too weak and you don't have a dedicated graphics card.

    The Intel UHD Graphics 617 is integrated GPU and MSFS2020 does not support iGPU's

    Which files do I copy to transfer Flight Simulator 2020 to another PC?

    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?
