August 17, 20205 yr When I launch it it gets stuck on 'Press Any Key to Start' You press any key and you get circle of death for a moment and that stops and it says 'Press Any Key to Start' This is a perpetual cycle, anyone know why? Should I wait? Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 17, 20205 yr I had that. Try rebooting PC & perhaps close your anti virus. Came right, then entered an Update phase that took a couple of hours. Now d/L 91.36 GB approx base sim & that will take about 8 hrs. T45
August 17, 20205 yr Also, make sure you start the launcher as administrator. I got stuck on the loading screen when I launched it normally.
August 17, 20205 yr Do you have an "any" key on your keyboard? 😛 CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11
August 17, 20205 yr Author I tried downloading the digital ownership again and running as admin, and yes mouse clicks and keyboard clicks. Didn't sort it out, I am uninstalling and reinstalling Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 17, 20205 yr Author I sorted it out now, so if anyone else has this problem here is what I did. Run Windows Update a few times and update everything, I was also missing XBOX Gaming Services and a few other XBOX things because somewhere along the way I removed those apps as I wasn't using them. Everything is updated now. When MSFS was looking for those XBOX Services it went into the 'Press Any Key to Start' circle Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 17, 20205 yr Does it state somewhere how much it has downloaded or the internet speed. I only have a blue bar which is not moving AT ALL since 30 minutes (500Mbit)...? And the folder I selected does not show any files/updates, either. Edited August 17, 20205 yr by Heavy Metal
August 17, 20205 yr Hi! When the "installing packages" opens up, points to my "C" drive, app data folder and begins installing there, although I have the original pre-download on my dedicated "F" drive. Do I need to point the installer to my "F" drive at that point before the start of the download?

The software doesn't show the download speed but you can find that in the Task Manager under the Flight Simulator App, mine is currently averaging 17 Mbps 4 minutes ago, Peter Webber said: Hi!

Closing the launcher and restarting worked for me, picked back up where it left off. I changed my system time to be the same as (cough) where I am currently located before restarting but not sure if that was material. This on gamepass btw.
August 17, 20205 yr The issue was apparently that I pointed the initial install to my second SSD drive. It did not start downloading and I could not change the drive afterwards. So I had to go into my apps, delete all the connections to my account, deinstall the app, reinstall, let it install on C drive and now it is downloading. Approx. 2 GB downloaded while I was writing this...
