trying to start FSX 2020, I get a prompt from MS asking me to install "MS gaming" but it...

Hello There ! I highly recommend following the troubleshooting steps mentioned on the link below:

I got the same freaking problem. I've activated the key for MS Flight Simulator 2020 Premium Deluxe Edition on sunday. Then I opened the MS Store (Win10 21H2) and installed the XBox App. After that I opened the XBox App and started the installation of MS Flight Simulator 2020 and after a few seconds Boom -> BSOD - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

I had to recover my system from the last point I've done.

I've tried every hint I have found on the internet and I had already contact with the MS Support. No fix for that until now.

Otherwise I can start any other app and game. Such as MS Office 360, Steam, iRacing etc. no problem ...

Every time I try to install from the XBox App -> BSOD

I have the same problem, can install the Deluxe Edition but get an error when I try to activate. I found that are two updates to FSX, SP1 and SP2. SP1 does not fix the activation problem and SP2 will not allow me to even start FSX without an error. Backed
out SP2 in order to start FSX.

Same here man, troubleshooted everything, updated every driver and still nothing but have no problem with any other application like you said Steam e.g. if you find a solution please let me know.

Okay, I started the game again and was able to activate it using the product key. The game worked great.

Then I installed FSX Acceleration and, when the activation screen popped up, there was a small box that asked me to enter the activation key, but no place to type it in. I was able to start FSX again, but not activate the acceleration software.

Now what?
