MSFS update

I am stuck on the looking for updates screen for the last 2 weeks

any ideas ?

thanks

Which looking for updates screen?

Are you in the MS Store? If not, then that’s where you need to be.

i am stuck on this screen. Flight Sim was working fine till 2 weeks ago now this every time i start i get this . Any ideas ?

Which screen are you stuck on??

 

Firstly, do you have the MS Store version of the sim? If so.. have you launched the store for the update?

You need to launch the store and click “library” (bottom left) followed by “get updates” (top right) or better still, just click Update All

Yes I have the store version and when I did update all I got a checkmark, so I assume it is updated.?

Maybe go back to the store and re-do any and all updates? Cheers.

this is all i get all of a sudden

Your responses always seem to be a bit cryptic and not clear. How about elaborating a bit more?

When did you last use / update the sim? How about a screenshot?

Have you checked if there any any windows updates available? Any MS Store updates at all?

I don’t know if this is still the case, but you might need to have the Xbox app installed in order to update the sim. I have it installed anyway (doesn’t harm to have it installed) so I can’t be sure on that one.

this is what all of a sudden started happening 2 weeks ago cant get past this ...... MSFS is bought in microsoft store and computer and store programs all say up to date. All drivers are up to date so the computer tells me.. Any ideas ?

 

At this stage in the sim launch process, it's trying to verify your Xbox credentials and can't for some reason.

Launch the Xbox App and log out of your Xbox account, then restart your PC.

Launch the Xbox App and log back in to your Xbox account, then launch MSFS.

how do i remove the account ? All i see under "accounts used by other apps" is my hotmail account and it says Manage and i log in ?

If a Microsoft Account isn't listed then it's already been removed - that could be your problem. Follow the instructions for signing back in to your Microsoft Account, then try launching the sim again.
