Major problem MSFS 2020

Featured Replies

Unable to play MSFS 2020, played yesterday with no issues. Tried to download it again from account and it won't even download.Anyone any thoughts please.

You could start with being more specific maybe?  Like what happens, what do you see, what errors if any etc?

Not  much I can say other than what I've said.

1..Unable to load the sim, no messages just my desktop

2..Tried to re-install by downloading it again  from my account at  Microsoft and it won't download.

And that's it can't say any more

 

Mine started like this yesterday.  Had to turn off Real Time Protection in Windows security.  MSFS would start, then immediately CTD.  It would'nt get to the first screen.  It sounds very similar to your issue.  I'll try to find the link on the FlightSimulator forums.

Okay thanks

 

There was an issue with a Windows Defender update. Try disabling Defender, then start the sim. If it loads you can reenable defender again.

Try this...

Unless you disabled defender, then it's still active

My Eset disables it as I've checked after installing Eset even if  disable Eset then enable it I also ways to see if defenders been disabled as Eset won't with Defender running.

 

It's due to an issue with a recently updated Gaming services via MS Store. Has been fixed yesterday. Go to MS Store and update all. Should work then.

I was fortunate not to have this issue and my AV app must'a disabled defender thus...saved the issue.

However...you gotta wonder who's driving the bus when MS's own software messes up...well...MS's own software? 🙄

I know it's "technically" an AS app that MS happens to be heavily involved with, but still.

Love the sim, but scratching my head on this....I mean...its not like its a Google app 🤣...which we all know MS purposely messes with, especially if you try to do a "Google" search in Bing...LoL....they try to do everything BUT get you where you'd expect to go in that search algorithm. 

Glad they identified and fixed it...but sheez....
