August 29Aug 29 I have a lot of Market place content in MSFS 2024 that indicates that there is an "Update Available". I have attempted to update a number of these items but Marketplace refuses to download the updates. With each item, I click the yellow "Update Available" label, the "Update" button appears at the bottom of the screen, I click the Update button, and the yellow "Update Available is replaced with the download feedback, showing 0%, the progress bar, and the data transfer,such as 0B/6.33 GB. It then sits there at 0% and refuses to progress any further. I have attempted to update multiple elements and all are doing the same. A few days ago I actually just allowed the computer to sit there, thinking perhaps I was just in a long que with a lot of other users, but it sat here, at 0% for over 24 hours.Has anyone else experienced this and if so did you find a fix? I am on a High Speed Fiber Optic constant internet connection (AT&T) and have no problem downloading content from any other site or application that I have tried. I have approximately 660 GB of free space of the primary drive that MSFS 2024 is installed on. Edited August 29Aug 29 by GACSavannah Kerry W.

August 29Aug 29 I would do a [relatively] straightforward reinstall of MSFS. Google the procedure - it's not too complicated. All your profiles etc. will be on the Cloud, so you shouldn't lose any settings. Worth a try IMHO ...
August 29Aug 29 I would recommend streaming the content, especially with a fiber connection with presumably no data limits. Asobo seemed to tack on the ability to download content to placate people, but for some it causes more issues than it's worth (and I'd argue if it's worth anything to begin with). You can try disabling and re-enabling the content, I've read that fixes it for some. You also typically can't update an aircraft if you have it currently selected in free flight.
August 30Aug 30 Author Thank you everyone. I don't know why the obvious didn't occur to me. They were looking for an update to begin with because they were not streaming. I honestly have no idea how so many (there were alot of them) products became "Installed" instead of streaming, but for each that I have uninstalled and returned to streaming, I am getting the most current versions. I still do not understand why they would not update, after the Update option was selected, but it really does not matter at this point.Once again, thank you for all that offered solutions :0) Kerry W.

August 30Aug 30 I used to install lically the few products I purchased through the MP and they always updated.when updates were made available. Learning to fly gliders since 1980Learning to understand women since mnore or less the same era... 🫠
August 31Aug 31 I assume you downloaded addons and not just streaming them? Lately I've had nothing but problems with downloaded addons, and completely random things. Long story short, I've just un-downloaded and gone back to streaming. I think there's something going on with the MSFS side of things. One example - I have the Miltech carriers downloaded and they were working just fine. One day I fly over and notice those pink textures indicating missing ones. I removed the download and everything was back to normal again. I've had similar issues with aircraft too. Some won't even download at all. I've used the marketplace for awhile but only noticed this stuff recently. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
