December 5, 20241 yr Attempted to start MSFS2020 at 14:45z. The startup sequence goes as far as the page with heading INSTALLATION MANAGER, CHECKING FOR UPDATES, which continues to spin and stays there. It took 18 minutes to reach the WORLD MAP page. I don't see anything wrong with the Internet performance. Besides this incident, I have noticed that since the last major MSFS2020 outage about a week ago, startup takes a lot longer and for me, it's always the CHECKING FOR UPDATES function that takes the longest. There is a MSFS2020 availability/performance pattern that is evolving and it is not good. zachlog
December 5, 20241 yr I don't see that at all. Just did a flight an hour ago, the start up sequence is as it has always been. Ridiculously long, if you run as many add ons as I do.
December 5, 20241 yr Yep, I see that same long.....'checking for updates' swirl every time I launch. Been seeing it for days and days it seems. The rest of the process seems normal, just that one step is borked. i7-9700K, MSI Z370, PNY 4070 Super, GTX 750Ti, 32GB GSkill, 43" curved Samsung, 32" BenQ, 11" LED, RealSImGear GTN750, Win10, P3DV5.4/P3DV6 and MSFS, several GoFlight modules, Saitek radio, Brunner CLS-E NG Yoke, Virtual Fly TQ6.

Since that outage last week I have breezed through checking for installation and then the rest of the boot times seem completely inline with what I had prior to the outage... It is weird how for some it is just hanging on the checking for installation screen. I would suggest a post on the official forums. The 2020 outage thread blew up rather quicly and got an almost immediate response. I would let them know some people are still having issues. Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk

For me, after MSFS2024 release, the CHECKING FOR UPDATES spinning circle takes longer than before, but never takes more of one/two minutes to get to the World Map. I hope MS will not forget MSFS2020 and will stand to their word.
