    Message to Microsoft...you took the money now up your server capacity to provide the service so many paid for (all my other connectivity dependent stuff is doing fine)

    For me that worked one time. But when the problem recurred next time it did not work. For me it seem more of a random event if we get stuck at checking for updates

I have this annoying issue. Starting the sim from the Xbox app seems to solve it.

    Did a flight earlier this morning without incident. Trying right now to load MSFS2020 and it's normal times to the main menu. Everything fine in MSFS2020.
