MSFS wants to reinstall

Was playing MSFS last night and no issues. Went to load it up today and it got stuck on checking for updates screen so eventually killed it with task manager. Now when trying to load it up it's looking to do a complete reinstall of 156GB. I've tried rebooting PC, made sure all Windows up to date, Nvidia up to date, run as administrator, repaired the app, reset the app, etc. and nothing is working. Any ideas? I've always had the MSFS package installed in a custom location and not the default in C:\Users - has it just lost how to find it somehow?

Edit - solved the issue. When the install option comes up if you browse and select the folder where you have the package saved then it makes the link and doesn't look to download anything.
