Went to start MSFS [as Administrator], & I am getting a Microsoft Store Gaming Services Screen that appears to want to download something, but I can't tell what.

And it says that "This Product Is Installed"

Anyone else getting this or know a way around it?

What happens if you start MSFS,  using MSFS JumpStarter?

or

start "" shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App "-FastLaunch"

 

Thanks Bert

Not familiar with above workarounds, but it started ok this morning.😥

Guess what, just had this happen also... ☹️

This one has got me twice and it took a lot of sorting. The most recent 'fix' (if that's what did it) was to update Windows from v1909 to 2004, which I'd previously held back from doing. So my advice is check your Windows version and update if possible. But before that, you could try fixing or resetting (in that order) the Gaming Services and Microsoft Store apps n Windows Settings.

Windows is at 2004... but the Gaming Services seemed to have its knickers in a knot..

Now it works again... 🙂

I am a veteran of the Store opening instead of MSFS.

After the recent patch it did it again for the first time in two patches.

If it opens the Store - let it open fully then close it again.

Restart your rig and try again - it should clear the knot from its knickers.
