Are you on beta? I didn't see any update. 

Yes, it was a beta update. Forgot what thread I was in.

Looks like the issue has been solved

Which one? My not being able to log into Xbox account, press key to continue and insert disc issue?

PC users that were obtaining a flash update window with no update at all and the sim starts up in windowed mode, even if it’s set to full screen mode.

Wasn't going to start the sim today anyway.

I have though/said this for years: developers/manufacturers of any product/software etc should focus on the bugs and issues first before adding any more content. This is universal.

Example: I use Sena for motorcycle communication and their focus is always on adding more features instead of fixing the connection issues.

Here too... It doesn't start in full screen, shows there's and update and in fractions of a second opens the update window then closes it... Keeps telling me the data in the cloud is not in sync with the one in the PC... Helicopters still fly like word not allowed... 

It's MFS 2020... For the good and for the not so good (I can't use the stronger word "bad" because it is simply not applicable to MSFS 2020...)

I still really like the Good above the not so good and...btw... It's Beta SU15, so we're supposed to deal with weirdness and bugs or simply opt out of it...

This is a known bug and MS/Asobo mentioned it will be solved with the official SU15 release. In the meantime, if your sim starts up in windowed mode, just press ALT + ENTER to make it full screen again.

Not what the OP was talking about, Windowed mode thing still the same for this non-beta user but there's already a thread for that issue.

(They are separate issues, I have the windowed mode bug but not the stuff Bob Mentions in his first post)

Just started up again...I now have the fake update issue also (the windowed mode bug came about a week ago iirc)

In the UK...I assume different rollout dates/times by region

Oh and its  changed setting in my world map, I now have the legend displayed

I haven't flown for a week, so it looks like I will have lots to look forward to!

Me too. Sim started up and asked for a disk, which I don't have.
Xbox app told me it had issues with my account. I logged out of the Xbox app en restarted.

Phew! Are these incessant issues ever going to end?  😵

Also, occasionally I get asked whether I want to use the latest cloud version when starting the sim...🤷‍♂️

When I started FS2020 yesterday, I got the message that I had to put in the disk. It has happened a couple of times earlier also, and  I have been logged out of my xbox and Microsoft store accounts. Logging in again has solved the problem. Yesterday I was not able to log in again. After trying to solve the problem myself, I contacted MS support. They trued to help me more than two hours, but with no success. The last they did was to reinstall Win11. Today I have tried to solve it again. The last thing I was told to do was to change my password for my MS account. I did so, and afterwards my pc was restarted. After then I am not able to log in to my pc either. Now I dont know what to do.

That's terrible! Hopefully someone here comes up with some excellent advice that can help you.

Yes, probably. It's weird all those kind of things happening at the same time.

I also had that two days ago.

Ah, thought I'd hit a wall at some point! Just tried loading MS and the sim crashed. It's impossible for me to get anywhere after getting an error message saying this game has crashed Error code: (0xc0000005) I've updated Xbox game bar and MS store, exited accounts and restarted and still no joy. Really miffed about this. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any ideas? EDIT: Hmm, dunno what's gone oing on, but now I can't even do a Win10 update. EDIT: Just done a system restore. Still no joy

It's a plot by Lockheed Martin to get us all back to P3Dv6

What? It's true. 😎

Well,

I had made a backup of the sim last week, before uninstalling it, tired of the various quirks I was facing...

Today I reinstalled it and grabbed the backup before running the sim for the first time so that it just downloaded a 5,4 GB total of updates, although I don't really know what exactly was downloaded.

After that sim looks stable, it's working... 

Just noticed a post here at the forum about the release of the SU15 ASOBO 320 NEO ? Might that update be the culprit ?
