I just saw that there was a Gaming Services update available on my machine. Downloaded it, started MSFS again and I was back in business. All my controls are back!! I'm a happy camper again !

Good to know and good for you. Hope it’ll not break mine again 😉

On my system, the install froze and I had to restart my PC..

Same here, and I'm just glad that they fixed it.

Can confirm, new gaming services fixed it here too.

Had to undo the workaround from the official forums. Not for those inexperienced with windows! We should never have to stop critical services or block store/windows updates.

Mine updated from 2.50.5004.0 to 2.50.5005.0. After that it says I'm up to date. The latest version isn't showing yet. 

At least the version I am on is not the problem version.

That's strange, I live in Germany and I got it three hours ago!
