So this is happening...

I get the "Press any key" message in the launcher, after which it just crashes to desktop. Event Viewer says that the faulting module name is ucrtbase.dll.

After googling the issue I installed the Windows 10 SDK and all the VC++ redistributables to see if that fixes it, but no luck. Also tried running the launcher as Administrator, but same thing happens.

Any ideas?

Maybe try deleting the installer, it may be corrupted

Tried that too - uninstalled FS2020 (the 990mb launcher) from the xbox app and reinstalled it - no luck 😞

Also did all Windows Updates now (there was just 1 cumulative update for Windows 10 build 2004, not a very big one)

CTD... a "fun activity" I was hoping not to experience in FS2020.

Is there a realism option to uncheck CTD?  😊

 

 

Have you updated your windows 10 to the version 1900 and later? Build 19041.450 here.
Maybe it's just that 🙂

Yeah Windows is on build 2004.

I see on the official forums a few people are experiencing this issue too 😞

Confirm: redistributables from here ?

Pick "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019", x64 is the most important. Pick x86 too, just in case. Reboot PC after install.

Note: it fixed ucrtbase.dll for me, in the past. It does some kind of Registry cleaning.

I have the same. Tried everything from the official pages and from here. Still nothing. Windows Update to version 2004 just running - hope that helps.

Event Viewer shows crashes of FlightSimulator.exe in ucrtbase.dll

Submit a request to MSFS support here: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new maybe they can help

Try downloading TechSpot's redist package, that covers them all, back to the 2005 versions. Even includes a .bat file to install them all in order, automatically.

Even if it doesn't work, it's a good tool to have with fresh installations of Windows or when you want to make sure everything is up to date 🙂

Haha we're 100% on the same page - I tried those first last night, then the official ones 😛
