Basic Controls toolbar pop-up reports No Entries

I have just bought MSFS 40th Anniversary edition and installed it on my PC running from Steam. Eventually I would like to interact with it using an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset but right now, in order to ‘get off the ground’ as it were, I have opted for keyboard and mouse controls. However, when I go into Basic Training the Basic Controls pop-up reports No Entries. I would imagine this is a fairly simple problem to fix but I can’t quite see how to do it.
I’d be really grateful if someone could help me with this.
