November 30, 20232 yr Hi Kids... I was starting MSFS last night and it started downloading a mandatory World Update. The download took a long time, then it started started decompressing files. The decompression ran a longer time and I thought it may have frozen. I gave up, and let it run overnight In the morning there was no change. I had to use task Manager to shut it down. Now when I try to start I get the option to proceed in safe mode or normally. Either way, t begins to load, but freezes at "New Activities." I can only exit through task manager... My guess is the update was corrupted... I have no idea how to proceed. Any suggestions... Thanks
November 30, 20232 yr Is your Community folder empty? Always a good idea when MSFS is installing a large update.

November 30, 20232 yr Author Thanks Bill... No luck so far. First, where is the Community folder? Resetting the cloud saves apparently refers to the steam edition. I have the MS edition. The frozen sim zendesk suggestion leads me to powershell. I have an older edition of powershell that doesn't appear or behave like the one described. The current edition seems to require some programming experience I don't have. If you can steer me to the community folder I'll check that out Gracias.

November 30, 20232 yr Author Peter... Thanks. I found the Community folder in "Microsoft store" location. It is empty. Is that significant to my problem?
November 30, 20232 yr no if its empty it mean you havnt installed any addons eg aircraft addons, scenery etc, but if you have than it would be a issue I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
