Then attempt number 4, opening Store, MSFS appears and starts downloading ... I still call it a messy update procedure. But I seems to work now.

September 7, 20214 yr More to the point, the solutions are being posted in the main update thread, including the XBox app one which seems to work for most.

If the update is not showing, just keep refreshing or hit get updates in the Microsoft store until it shows up. It also would help if you guys are a little patient. It's the same procedure every update Not for me this update. I have been able to update MSFS normally through the Microsoft Store every time, up until WU6 today. Today, the update wasn't showing no matter what. I even followed the instructions from Jane in the MSFS forums about signing out from the Microsoft Store, resyncing the clock, rebooting the computer, and signing back into the Microsoft Store. That didn't work either. The trick that finally worked for me and for many others was getting the X-Box App. If you get the X-Box app (I was automatically signed into the X-Box app when I got it), the Microsoft Store finally showed the update for MSFS. This is some weird bug with the Microsoft Store + MSFS. We shouldn't need the X-Box app just to get the MSFS update from the Microsoft Store. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
September 7, 20214 yr Just to update...lol...i finally got the update. Wish you guys luck in getting it promptly.

The requirement to install the X-Box app happened with the X-Box release along with SU5. It was SU5 that people couldn't get the update for MSFS in the Microsoft Store. It didn't affect me in SU5 as I was able to get the update from the Microsoft Store without the X-Box app. Sadly, this X-Box app bug caught up to me in WU6, and I had to get the X-Box app just to get the MSFS update in the Microsoft Store. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

September 7, 20214 yr It updated for me after installing the XBox app and running the sim from there. I needed the new Xbox app, not the old 'XBox companion' one. After launching through the app I checked for updates in Windows Store vatsim s3

September 7, 20214 yr If you as I alredy have the Xbox app installed, try to open the app, then hit the "Get the update" button. it triggered the update for me Come here you big, beautiful cup of coffee and lie to me about how much we’re going to get done today.
September 7, 20214 yr Please try the procedure that is given by MS here: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015760660 Basically, install all pending Windows updates, logout from MS Store, reboot, login in MS store again and select MSFS from the installed apps. Then, the update should start downloading (at least, it was for me, while the XBox app didn't do anything good).
