Can't update

Featured Replies

When I start MSFS is says there is a mandatory update which I have to install through the Microsoft store.

However, in the MS store I am only given the options to play the game, (which give me the mandatory update message), install on my devices, which seems to run, then give me the mandatory update message again, or manage, which appears to do precisely nothing.

At the end of the day I can't even start the sim...can anyone help please?

Just went through the same scenario.  Tried everything I could find with a search and nothing worked.  Went away for several hours, tried again and the update was at the store.

There must be a better way to do this.

Best,

Check out the long topic here from yesterday.  Contains a number of tips to overcome the issues.

Install the Xbox app in Windows. This seems to have helped.
