At first I was very pleased When I received an Email that I was inside the Tech Alpha 1 pool. Thursday night I received an Email with Instructions on how to get access to Tech Alpha 1 and did everything exactly as instructed. After I downloaded 3GB of data there was a button with “Play“ and When I press that button nothing happens. The flight simulator simply does not start. I have Now tried 2 days to get it going with all the tricks from google and youtube but it just doesn't work. It also says “An administator has to approve the installation. What??? I have all admin rights on my PC what should I do now to start this simulator? I wrote to the support that was in the Email, no answer So far. I asked people from this forum who also have access to the Tech Alpha 1 and its tips didn't help either. Now I have the folder from the flight simulator on my PC, very excited to try that out but nothing happens. In the meantime I am very disappointed, but especially because the support does not help me. I don't think I am breaking the NDA here When I ask for help, because although I should, I actually don't have access to the flight simulator. Please admins from this forum, please do not delete this post, I know Microsoft is watching this forum here and maybe it will attract my attention, apparently and I don't know why I'm missing any rights for this simulator.

This sounds soooooo wrong. 

If you are really a tech alpha participiant there is a specific section of the MSFS forums where you can post support related topics. 
Why post it here?

Yes I did 2 days ago, but no answer yet.

Just wait. To put it in a real perspective, they kinda have much more to deal with than with someone not being able to install the simulator.

Yeah I know they have enough tester, but unfortunately I haven even access to the internal forum. Only showing "public forum coming soon" There seems to be alot wrong.

Try turning your computer off and then on again 😁

This is the email you want to contact support with. They will respond. Are you using a 4k TV as your monitor?

Not sure this will help but have you checked here to assure your PC is checking out ok? https://account.microsoft.com/devices/

I already did yes, everything is fine. Event viewer says, it is an application error "flightsimulator.exe" is not compatible.

Have you tried to disable this setting?

 

Enable the hidden administrator account and sign in from there. Then try installing. Also you should know that the after you click the play button, the app further downloads 74gb of data.

Already did that. I have tried every tip or tweak I could get in Internet. Believe me "everything" also switching between local on live account didn't help.
