Updating the Microsoft Store version "in game" only

[Cloudpiercing 65]

The last couple of updates to the sim has been done without going to the Microsoft Store. When I start the sim and an update is detected, the dowload is done in the game without having to go to the Microsoft Store page. I'll only see an progress bar in the sim (yesterdays update was aprox 7,52 GB) and after the dowload and decompresseing the sim starts. But when i read in the forum than other users with the Microsoft Store verison of the sim is foreced to go to the store to complete the update get med wonder if i'll will out something? Anybody else with the store version that only has "in game" updates?

they don't make life easy. usually you start MSFS and get a notice to update the launcher first. So quit MSFS, go to MS Store und update the MSFS launcher. Once done you execute the launcher, for me a quick window pops up telling me something about package installation. Then MSFS should load and check again for updates, showing you to screen with the 7.x GiB update for v1.10.7. Once that is done you should also check your container as there are also minor updates available

That's how it worked for me too. I never had to go to the store page. Just started the sim, it detected an update, it updated, I pressed continue and was ready to fly.

God news that I'm not alone with that, but it really make me wonder why thats the case that some of us having a "in game" update whitout having to go to the Sim store. But it's way easier so I'll gladly keep the "in game update" if it's a legit way to update.
