Thanks Can you tell us a little more about what you are seeing? What the problem is? Is it hanging on the updater? Are you just not getting the update (in the Store or in MSFS itself)?

August 7, 20214 yr Installing the XBox App into Windows 10 worked for me. Before that it was stuck in a loop, when I started MSFS it would say there was a mandatory update, and take me to Windows Store, but the Store would tell me I was good to go. Lather, rinse, repeat... After XBox was installed, it updated the very next time.

August 7, 20214 yr Same for me, 2 hours playing around with the store and command prompts, store app resets etc. but the only thing that finally worked was installing the X-Box app. The store updates mentioned by many had always worked before for me until this latest hotfix, but this one was extremely frustrating.
August 7, 20214 yr installing the XBox thing is necessary Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).
August 7, 20214 yr SO if I understand you folks correctly , you must go to the Microsoft store and download the Xbox app. and then you will be able to update Msfs 2020. Am i reading this correctly? thanks.....RObertC
August 7, 20214 yr Do you have the XBox app ?

I updated through the Microsoft store just fine. I don't know if I also have the Xbox app, though. I don't remember ever installing it. I will check the next time I am at the computer.
