Thanks Matt thats what I thought Brother 

I posted this on another thread but this is your best bet for now

1. run Windows Update
2. make sure their are no pending Windows 10 Updates
3. Make sure all updates in Windows Store are currently installed, and all XBOX apps are installed and up to date
4. Make sure your local time and language settings are correct

This will save you time and headache when it is released on your region

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

can you specify which other XBOX thing you're talking about? I do have the Gaming Services.. everything up to date, checked everything from the other link you shared! I feel doomed !

This has gotten quite confusing - doesnt bode well for the future up keep of the sim

Sorry to keep hammering you all with noob questions, but I have:

Xbox Game Bar & Xbox Identity Provider

what other Xbox apps constitute 'all'?

Thanks (again)

Yes this is annoying but they are taking more control of the licencing this way, it was inevitable

Wow not good - would assume we need to leave these programs loaded all the time

For Christ sake, Why MS does not install them automatically WITH THE Game? That's SO 1995!!!

When I first ran it mine wouldn't launch the Content Manager, reason for that those apps were missing, those apps control the licencing

Frig.. so I've done my best and now I've got apps called:

  • Gaming Services
  • Xbox (Beta)
  • Xbox Game Bar
  • Xbox Identity Provider

Nothing called "Xbox Gaming Services" to be found in my universe. Am I screwed? Can I uninstall any of those safely? Oi Vey!
