August 23, 20223 yr I thought I'd pop this on here to help those who may find themselves in a similar situation to me without any solution. THE ISSUE: After starting MSFS, the loading stops at a page saying syncing data, and nothing else happens. I scoured the internet and forums and found plenty of suggestions, even from the official MS site which suggested returning the entire sim back to default (which seems to be a regular fall back position!) Jeez, what a crazy thing to have to do. Many other suggestions too, such as deleting specific folders etc. Anyway, I'm sure this may well be known by many, but nevertheless there will be others, not necessarily in the minority, who may not know about this fix so I thought if it can help one person then it is worth posting. FIX: 1) Sign out of MS store 2) sign out of Xbox app 3) restart PC, (IMPORTRANT, do not skip) 4) sign back into MS store 5) sign back into Xbox app 6) start MSFS. There maybe other reasons for the original issue, but in my case this worked for me Edited August 23, 20223 yr by Rockliffe HowardMSI Mag B650 Tomahawk MB, Ryzen7-7800X3D CPU@5ghz, Arctic AIO II 360 cooler, Nvidia RTX4090 GPU, 32gb DDR5@6000Mhz, SSD/2Tb+SSD/500Gb+OS, Corsair 1000W PSU, LG Ultragear 48"4K, MFG Crosswinds, TQ6 Throttle, Fulcrum One YokeMy FlightSim YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@skyhigh776
October 22, 20223 yr I had this yesterday and when I launched the MS Store app there was a gaming service update. I tried after the update and the sim fires up without issues Richard i7-12700K | Noctua NH-D15S Black Version | MSI Pro Z690 - A | 32 GB DDR4 3600 | Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 | 1TB WD Blue NMVe (MSFS 2020) | 500 GB WD Black Gen 4 NVMe | 4TB WD Black Conventional | Fractal Design Torrent Case | Seasonic 1000W Gold Plus PSU | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Honeycomb Throttle | Airbus Side Stick | Virpil Rudder Pedals | Sony X90K 55 Inch TV |
December 12, 20223 yr Hello Howard, Thank you. I had this issue for a few days. Really annoying. I tried what you suggested (except the Xbox related lines, because I was not connected) and it worked My gallery: http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w430/yankeegolf/
December 15, 20223 yr Well... it worked for a while and the problem came back. I had to disconnect from MS Store, shut down reconnect again. Not cool. I checked the MS site and found some crazy "fixes" (reinstall windows (are you serious?) or complicated files modifications) which seemingly don't work. By the way, maybe a stupid question about the Xbox app (see OP), is it something which is required when you don't use Xbox? THX My gallery: http://s1075.photobucket.com/albums/w430/yankeegolf/
February 19, 20233 yr This has happened to me 2 or 3 times (including today). The "fix" that worked for me (after searching online), was to delete the "ROLLINGCACHE.CCC" file. Each time the file was about 8Gb, (I have a dedicated drive for MSFS only). Restart Windows before returning to MSFS.
March 28, 20233 yr Well done Rocky. 👍 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

The syncing data page did not went away in my sim (v 1.32.7.0) but I'm glad hughesmeister's fix worked for me too.
