August 7, 20214 yr So I had the darndest time getting the ms store to update to 1.18.15.0. I had to install an xbox app (in addition to the xbox game bar and xbox console companion apps that I had from way before). After installing this new xbox app, I could go back to the MS store, click "get updates", and the sim would finally update.

August 7, 20214 yr Yup. I had to do that dance too, restarting the PC (twice) and opening an closing the MS store window gawd knows how many times before it eventually woke up and smelled the coffee. Moreover, it took ages for the small MS store patch to download eventually anyway, as it always does since they apparently have a donkey on a treadmill powering their server for that stuff. This is really my only gripe with MSFS; the patching process is needlessly convoluted. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

I attribute this rigorous procedure to Microsofts strong copy protection scheme as their store is like a Fort Knox, must never be cracked.

August 7, 20214 yr I tapped on the Microsoft Flight Simulator app in the provided list at the Microsoft Store when no update appeared in the usual way Lo and behold it started to update in another window Almost looked it was reinstalling the sim but no Very odd Any other way ends up in reinstalls of the sim as you hunt about looking for the update which you have to install or sim won’t load So have 2 update pathways now! If the first one won’t work the second one might! xxd09 Edited August 7, 20214 yr by xxd09 Spelling
August 7, 20214 yr My solution was logging out of my XBOX Account in the XBOX App and log in again. Then checked updates in MS Store and it started Guenter Steiner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betatester for: A2A, LORBY, FSR-Pillow Tester --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
