And there in is the issue at hand. Your download was 16GB . Others were much larger. No one knows why. But Please don’t tell me mine was not 83 GB as you didn’t slog though 16 hours of downloads like some of us had to.
-
It may overwrite files and see a net change of about 3GB folder size. But there is no question that the download size was 85GB. No confusion about that.

So it seems this was the case with both Steam and MS store, leading me to believe it was something to do with Asobo and how they update files. I’m not versed enough to offer a better solution but I can say unless you have a high speed connection this process certainly takes away from my enjoyment of the product.

My install is in the default location.

Do you recall how big SU 6 was for you on Steam?
-
There is no way an update should be as large as the initial install of the entire program. This was just a service update, not a world update with all new scenery. As a point of curiosity, did those who had such a large update purchase through the MS store or Steam? Mine was through the MS store.

All data and prior updates were there. Log book was the same, content manager too. Still not sure why it was so large

Had the same happen last week, 85G update. Took 18 hours on my crappy connection. There has to be a better way than this .

SU6 requiring a complete reinstall?
Wnuk replied to Wnuk's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I suppose the update could have been that large. Didn’t consider that. After the large download, all my content and log book were still there. And I didn’t need to reinstall the world updates, they carried over except for the small content updates I hadn’t done yet. Hmmm……without a world update included in SU6, what could have been so large as to have an update as large as the original install itself? -

Thanks Noel . I had all updates applied to Xbox App and MS store App. I looked inMS store for updates like I had for the previous year of owning and updating the sim. This time none was available. I logged out of Xbox and MS store accounts and back in with no changes. Until till this point all updates for me went perfectly as you described. For whatever reason this time around I had to download over 85 G, which was the same same as my original install. Not hopeful this will be the last time that happens to me. -

Well 18 hours of downloads and I'm back up and running. Shame it came to that. Cant wait to see what the next update brings to this clunky process! -

Glad it worked for you and you didn't lose the complete download. The MS Store is just too unreliable. I am doing a full install again as I had no choice, should have just purchased another copy from Steam (couldn't bring myself to purchase it a second time though). It's a shame when MS's own products don't work together. This entire update process is a mess that needs to be sorted out 😒 -
Just went to update to SU6 as I haven't had time to fly. No update showed in the MS Store or in Xbox app. So I started MSFS and let it do it's checking for updates thing. It does show an update of roughly 465 Mb but the is just an additional option to 85Gig worth of downloads. It's like it wants me to reinstall the whole delux version I have. 🥵 I am SO tired of the updates not working properly. Is that my only option? I have a VERY slow connection and it would take nearly 24 hours to download all over again 🤢

Suddenly ads are appearing across screen constantly changing

Yes, they are becoming a distraction across too large an area of the screen on my iPad. -
Esc then back to flight causing engine to shut off

Thanks for confirmation it isn’t just on my end. Oh well, maybe it’ll be fixed In SU6
