July 20, 2025Jul 20 I Due to a McAffe originated malware which could not be eliminated, I restored my system and since then, I cannot open MS 2020 or 2024.- When trying, a banner appears informing something like: no licenses app applicable found.- I rolled back to the original restore point, and have the same problem.- Perhaps there is a solution that avoids reinstallation.Thanks

July 20, 2025Jul 20 Remember that you HAVE to be signed into the Xbox App to boot up either sim first time round. Your licence is held in the XBox App. So - log into the Xbox App; leave that running; open MSFS2020 or MSFS2024 - they should now load up as normal. Repeat the process for the second sim. From then on, the sims will remember your details, unless you reinstall them again - in which case, you repeat the above.

July 20, 2025Jul 20 ...and yes, it would be useful if the automatic text that flags that there is no licence was edited to add that advice. *sigh* Ryzen 7 9800x3D @5.2GHz; ASUS X670-P Motherboard; nVidia 4080 (factory o/c); 32G 5600MHz DDR5 SDRAM; Pimax Crystal Light VR Headset; Quest 3 VR Headset
July 20, 2025Jul 20 I recently had the same problem and consequently uninstalled the sim through the XBox app. After rebooting the computer I couldn’t find MSFS 2024 in the XBox app any longer. So, I had to open the MS Store for reinstalling the sim. Everything went well and I found all my controller settings untouched.
