Cannot select an airport to start a flight from

Please disregard the following.

After looking to see if I could force any uninstalled updates in OPTIONS and noticing drop down menus were working there I tried again to start a flight and drop-down menus for airport work again.

VERY STRANGE

I had just finished my dinner and decided to do a flight.

I started MSFS and got a message that it could not connect to the internet and also at the same time advised of an update.

I closed MSFS and restarted hoping it could then connect to the internet and I did not get the message but also did not get the message that there was an update available.

I continued on and attempted to start a flight however I cannot select any airport to start from let alone the position at an airport. All downward facing arrows do nothing when I click on them.

I shut my PC down and restarted and started MSFS - same problem.

I then opened the XBox app selected MSFS, clicked on the three 'dots' ie .... selected REPAIR

Still the same problem.

How can this happen?

Do I need to uninstall and re-install. Gosh I hope not as that takes hours and hours.

Any ideas? Please.
