May 22, 20215 yr Hi all... Today my MSFS (Purchased via Microsoft Store) wont start at all. Running the program start opens the Microsoft store window to Gaming Services. Within the MS Store the sim is listed as installed. On my C:drive, under WindowsApps FlightSimulator.exe has zero bytes... My Packages folder appears to be intact... I recently transfered my C: drive to a new SSD however I have run MSFS several times since then... I'm a bit at a loss... Anyone have any suggestions...?

I could not start MSFS, the Store opened and offered to update Gaming services. But it hung up when trying to do it. I will try to re-launch MSFS tomorrow. If the problem doesn't resolve itself, I'll try a solution from @Chock. Edited May 22, 20215 yr by Nickbe Nick Bebyakin / Handmade cameraset - Ezdok v2 and Ezdok v3 EZdok Software.

One hour or so later the store offered the update again and it installed within seconds. Maybe worth a try...

In any case, we have a great solution from @Chock 😉. Nick Bebyakin / Handmade cameraset - Ezdok v2 and Ezdok v3 EZdok Software.

May 22, 20215 yr The solution is to reinstall GamingServices and GamingServices.net. Go to regedit and delete two items there regarding the gamingservices and then rebot your computer. Be careful when editing anything in the registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_, system , currentControllSet, Services Remove the Gamningservices and the GamningServices.Net Restart the computer and go to the windows store and check for updates and voliá! Come here you big, beautiful cup of coffee and lie to me about how much we’re going to get done today.

Don't need to reboot your PC, simply quit the MS Store app and login back again Cheers, Ed MSFS2020 Steam // Rig: Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower - ASUS MBoard Maximus XII Hero Z490 - CPU Intel i9-10900K - 64GB RAM - MSI RTX2080 Super 8GB - [1xNVMe M.2 1TB + 1xNVMe M.2 2TB (Samsung)] + [1xSSD 1TB + 1xSSD 2TB (Crucial)] + [1xSSD 1TB (Samsung)] + 1 HDD Seagate 2TB + 1 HDD Seagate External 4TB - Monitor LG 29UC97C UWHD Curved - PSU Corsair RM1000x // Thrustmaster FCS & MS XBOX Controllers
May 24, 20215 yr Author Hi all... Well..., I solved the problem! A rather drastic solution! After MANY issues, including uninstalling MSFS, then Microsoft Store refusing to re-install MSFS to the store failing to open altogether, I finally re-installed Windows 10 from scratch! (Windows needed replacing anyway as I've upgraded my MB, CPU, power supply and Graphics card. Besides this was about the longest time ever between new Win 10 installs!) Then..., MSFS installed...! I did keep a copy of my packages folder which I copied to the default location, That reduced the download to "only" 77 GB... 8 hours later and I could finally play with my new Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo gear... --------------------------------------------- System: Asrock Z790 Taichi Lite, i9-12900KS, EK AIO water cooling, 32GB Dominator Platinum 6000MHz DDR5, Asus GTX 3070, Gigabyte M34WQ + Asus MX27AQ monitors, WD SN850 1 TB M2 drive, Intel 750 Nvme 480 GB, Samsung 1 TB SSD, 3 TB + 4 TB HDD's, Honeycomb Alpha + Bravo, Thrustmaster TPR Pendulum Rudder, Saitek Radio panel..
