MSFS suddenly loads to the Microsoft Store

Featured Replies

I played MSFS a couple of times today with SU5 and it worked great. Tried to play again tonight and now it loads into the Microsoft store. Once there, I can't get it to do anything. It seems like it wants me to install a Gaming Services update, but when I do nothing happens. I see a lot of HDD activity, but no visible results on screen. Any ideas, anyone? Has this happened to anyone else tonight?

There is a patch to SU5 that needs the Windows Store but it sounds like your install may have hit a glitch downloading it.

I had the same thing. When Microsoft store opened I went to download page in the store and click get updates. The sim was shown pending update. I just click to download it. When update was complete I ran the sim again and then I saw update available inside the game. I installed it as usual. All is good here now.
