June 14, 20241 yr Go to an Admin command prompt and type wsreset.exe. This morning, an MS game services update messed something up. This action just resets the Windows Store. It cleared it right up for me. This support thread was also helpful. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/msfs2020-stuck-on-checking-for-updates/974e479b-49b2-4e7e-95a8-ef5953261ca8

June 14, 20241 yr Seems for me, at least, the issue may be with the map enhancer as several times msfs has got stuck on checking for updates whilst using it but has loaded ok when it's not being used. Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)

Just type Command Prompt in the Windows search on the taskbar. Right click on it and start as Administrator. Then type wsreset.exe.

June 14, 20241 yr Same here... I'm stupid because after reading through this thread and decide I would not even try to start MSFS for an LPFR - GMMX short A320 op and instead go flying it in Aerofly FS 4 I couldn't resist and opened MSFS just to smash into the never ending "CHECKING FOR UPDATES" message... Well - Aerofly FS 4 will do the job tonight and for sure much better flight dynamics wise :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
June 14, 20241 yr The wsreset.exe worked for me. That said, I installed the map enhancement tool for the first time just before starting up MSFS, and I cannot get that working (backend server error), but that's a different issue.
June 14, 20241 yr Commercial Member wsreset.exe did not work for me. When I'm unlucky enough to hit the check for update screen, it easily adds 20+ minutes to my startup. Kyle Weber (Private Pilot, ASEL; Flight Test Engineer)Check out my repaints and downloads, all right here on AVSIM
June 14, 20241 yr For me pulling out network cable helps. It will give you connection lost warning but will move to that required/available space screen, plug it in again, connection will be established and you will have continue button there which will lead to normal loading screen. Luka Albreht

June 14, 20241 yr On 5/5/2024 at 5:01 PM, GEKtheReaper said: So there it is....my first and ever problem with MSFS since it's launch <- yes, this is correct! Last days I got plenty of "unable to sync" messages and it was always the XBOX Gaming App that logged me out. Looking in the Store Updates I saw the last days constant updates to the XBox gaming app and the Gaming services (just today again). So now I have my first stuck on Checking for updates screen. Nothing helps.... Anybody else having this? I also experience these problems. First it was unable to sync and now stuck at checking for updates
June 14, 20241 yr I was stuck at checking for updates yesterday, I press ALT+F4 to quit and restart my computer, then it worked again. System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I
