October 8, 20214 yr Well this is a new one for me, tried to start MSFS from Add on linker as usual then got a demand to Press Any Key To Start - did that and Xbox login box popped up, clicked that and back to Press Any Key To Start & up popped up the Xbox login again, ad infinitum. Tried to start though Xbox app, same loop - tried to start through MS store, same loop - tried to start from Icon selecting run as administrator, same loop. Have searched on here for "Press any key to start loop" with no success, can anybody point me in the direction of a fix please?

October 8, 20214 yr Author SOLVED - This may help someone else: Firstly I found the following on another forum: 1 - Sign out of the Xbox companion app and then uninstall the App (NOT MSFS) 2 - Restart computer 3 - Reinstall Xbox companion app new XBox Application for Windows 10 4 - Sign in to Xbox account 5 - Start MSFS from the App (not from the Desktop Icon or from the Start Menu) Probably the cause? On restarting my PC I noticed a message telling me that "another user is still using the PC and will lose all their data". I never normally have another user on my PC but set one up in an attempt to solve another Win 11 problem of no hide able task bar on my second monitor and although I had logged on again as my usual account, the "trial" user was still running alongside my standard one, so this fact might have caused the problem all along?

October 8, 20214 yr Good you solved it. Hopefully they won't replace Press Any Key with Please Insert Coin, may cause some additional trouble Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

March 16, 20242 yr Well, I have tried this more than once and am still stuck in the perpetual loop...although I cannot find anywhere to let me sign out...have uninstalled and then it signs me back in automatically only to start the whole process again. Very worrying and concerning as my Flight Sim is now unusable and have no idea what I did other than install the mandatory update. Can anybody help please...
March 16, 20242 yr When will it end? I've got the same problem .......Dave just saved me writing the same thing. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
March 16, 20242 yr sign out from microsoft store and then in, helped me yesterday. Best regards Ralf Andreas
March 16, 20242 yr Just now, cseu said: sign out from microsoft store and then in, helped me yesterday. Best regards That's the first issue...There is nowhere for me to sign out...
March 16, 20242 yr in the taskbar of the MS store window is a circle with your initials or whatever, if you click on that symbol you have the possibility to signout Edited March 16, 20242 yr by cseu typo Ralf Andreas
March 16, 20242 yr Signing out and signing in has NO effect. A complete balls up. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
March 16, 20242 yr At least my Task Manager is working well. Albeit on overtime! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
March 16, 20242 yr as written - yesterday I was unable to start MSFS with the "press any key" loop, PC and XBox reset did not fix the problem, only the signout / signin into MS Account solved the problem, then XBox behaviour was norm. I'm on PC / Store version... Ralf Andreas

March 16, 20242 yr Just noticed on my account it says sign in, So I do and it accepts but in the top left my account is not shown, just asking me to sign in again...alas another loop... Wow Microsoft, what the hell have you done...
