Start MSFS as an administrator

Featured Replies

I want to start MSFS as an administrator. In Windows start, there is the option to right-click on the app and start as an administrator. In P3D I can choose to always start the simulator as an administrator by right-clicking on Prepar3D.exe and in properties select Run this program as an administrator. Is there the same possibility in MSFS? and if so, where is the file?

This question may be circling the root of my problem. I have been unable to download, install and run.

 

You don't need to be an administrator (nor does the flightsimulater.exe needs to be) to download and install. My download hung always at the start but after a few task killings and reboots it all of a sudden started. Delivery through Mircosoft Store is a mess nevertheless.
