For me, maybe this wasn't because of the sim update, but maybe because of the latest Nvidia driver update.  457.09.  Is there a way to easily revert back to the previous driver and check with that one?  I only see the latest driver in the Nvidia experience app so I wasn't sure how to install an older one.

To rollback driver go to Device Manager>Display Adapters>Your GPU>Properties>Driver>Rollback driver

I thought it was just my clouds that look VERY pixelated, i'm using a 4K TV @ 3840x2160 resolution.

Just tried an approach through the clouds and wow they look awful now? Almost like pixelated powdered sugar on the tops (seriously pun intended), when they had been really smooth before. Wonder what happened?

They are just trying to optimize it for the Xbox, unfortunately 

Disgusting...

Some news. I have restored my previous driver 456.71 (October 7, 2020) and unfortunately after a short flight, clouds are always pixelated. So, i have reinstalled the 457.09 (October 29, 2020).

Litttle detail : i noticed that clouds are SOMETIMES pixelated, not always and not everywhere.

I got the best results after reverting back all my NVIDIA settings related to FS to default, than everything related to antilaliasing desabled or driven by the application,  plus setting the sharpen=0 in the cfg file. Not perfect but much better now, i can live with it.

Do you restore to default in the global settings or program settings, MSFS (or both)?

Not really.   How in the word would you know that this is dumbing down of the clouds when it is not universal?

I keep my global settings to default and sometimes play a little with the MSFS. But i couldn't get totaly rid of the problem, we must hope that an update will do it...

Why would they do that? the new Xbox is faster than most users' computers.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

As far as I am aware there are no facts to support your original statement.

I hope and pray that a third party dev, like REX, will produce some replacement cloud textures, if at all this is possible. For me, I have always thought the clouds look awful. Sure, overall, from a distance, the atmosphere and immersion they produce is stunning, but this is far too often spolied by clouds that look pixilated, and have been drawn by a child! I'm surprised so may don't share this view
