March 18, 20242 yr My Win 11 setup refused to restart after installing P3Dv6 All was recovered-P3D and XPlane all reinstalled and up and running but my MSFS 2020…….! I am quite experienced having flight simmed for many many years Microsoft has me beat -I can access my Microsoft Account and see my £100 purchase but the Microsoft Store and its X Box minions refuse to let me sign in -security I suppose? I can’t even repurchase as an installation would not be allowed-I tried it with a different sign in procedure-Microsoft refunded the purchase-thank goodness that worked MSFS 2024 will not be for me! xxd09
March 18, 20242 yr All you need to do is change your Microsoft password, then it should install/run. I had exactly the same issue and I was without MSFS for four days until it occurred to me to change the password.

It's your Microsoft email and password that you log into the Microsoft site, the MS Store app and the Xbox app. Edited March 18, 20242 yr by JYW Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000NPPL licence holder in the UK

I had a Microsoft ID/PW conflict the first two months into MSFS 2020 MS Store purchase. What worked for me was picking one of several Microsoft accounts I had accumulated over the years (and several computers) and align that combo with Xbox.

March 18, 20242 yr Yep..been there and done that.The password /"security " is a crock.I don't know why they make it so difficult.Microsoft couldn't give a toss about our account .Their interest is data gathering and tracking.
March 19, 20242 yr Author Steam seems to be difficult to access for me as well Setting up an Steam Account impossible -so far -after many tries Must be getting old! xxd09

March 20, 20242 yr Author Cleared downloads-space created -MSFS 2020 flying again-some how!!!!!!! Makes you think about MSFS 2024! xxd09
March 20, 20242 yr Perhaps you got really unlucky. From time to time I have to re-login (to MS store or XBOX, I forget which one - maybe both). And occasionally MSFS doesn't recognize my installation (which is always scary!). What I do then is reboot, then re-login. Solves the issue. I'm not at all saying it's optimal (I suppose I've been lucky). I regret that I didn't choose steam back in 2020. Also it would be kinda cool to see how many hours I have accumulated in MSFS... I'm fairly sure it doesn't even come close to CIV6 though (and no, I will not disclose how many hours!). In general, I find MS' focus on login requirement ridiculous. A little while ago I spend some 4hrs trying to figure out how I could enable auto-login when rebooting my PC. It baffles me why they don't make this easier.
