Once again I am uninstalling and completely reinstalling MSFS in order to get an update. So far none of the updates complete. Perhaps I am doing something wrong but sure have no idea what.

I start MSFS and get a message that update is available. I am taken to MS Store

There is a download bar, I click that and a download begins - about 668mb is downloafded

I then click play (also tried exiting and starting MSFS from icon) and MSFS starts 

eventually it shows checking for updates and then the sim starts as usual still showing the old 1.8 build.

I reported it to MS but none of their suggestions has worked. Only way to get the update for me is a complete reinstall.

Has anyone else using the MS store had anything like this happen? Also would someone iterate the steps they take for a successful update?

I use Eset AV ands it's not the issue. The connection is wired not wireless and I have no cap on the download. Running as admin using my MS account.

If I had any hair I'd be pulling it out. Thwe only saving grace is that it only takes me 45min to an hour to download the full install.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Yes, I've had the same problem and even after unistalling I couldn't reinstall, so since patch 1.83 MSFS refuse to install to my system, I'm done with it for the time being

Well, at least I'm able to reinstall, it just takes time but I hate to think I'll have to do this every time.
