For me it seems it either goes through quickly or sticks there, like once whatever fails doesn't unstick itself... Highly technical language there...

MS/Asobo might be doing upgrades and getting them ready for MSFS20204 launch, just a thought. Surely--they're undoubtedly testing all sorts of things one can only imagine the sudden demand coming in November and how to accommodate that and maintain 2020.

The "Checking for updates" hang... synchronising the date and time from the Windows 11 Settings -> Time & Language -> Date & Time -> Additional Settings -> Sync Now fixed it.

June 14, 20241 yr I use an automatic sync app every time I start windows. Because Windows sync never is reliable. MSFS working fine here now. It wasn't until I did this: The new map app had messed up hosts. To edit hosts: type "notepad" in windows search and run notepad as an administrator. Remove every line not starting with #.

June 14, 20241 yr Before I edited hosts, when I clicked on Fly it took minutes to load a flight instead of seconds. If something is slow when not using the map enhancement, that means map enhancement has messed up your hosts file. MSFS is trying the servers in hosts, but hangs for a long time because the map enhancement app isn't running.

June 14, 20241 yr None of this workarounds work, it will connect when they fix the servers. I recommend posting in their forums and make some more noise there, they are surely frustrating lots of customers with this server based Simulator. SN737

Restarted and rebooted 4 times and still stuck. What on earth is wrong with asobo, microsoft and this damned sim? All this after 3 or 4 days of server problems and loads of time wasting too. I also got this problem when I just tried launching the sim. Before that I have had problems with 'unable to sync data with cloud'. If you can't launch the sim it is very serious issue.

June 14, 20241 yr According to people who don't accept reality, there are no issues with MS/ASOBO! Some may claim "MSFS 2020 is the most stable sim I've used in about 3 decades," while others eagerly critique MSFS 2020, or Some just can't wait for any opportunity to bash MSFS 2020, which is quite amusing. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
