Tried to install FS from Microsoft Store. Message says it will be around 127GB. Installation is only 990MB and when starting the Game it is asking for Disk.
I have made all the steps suggested incl. wsreset. Nothing helps.
- Ensure that you have “Digital Ownership” package installed along with MSFS
- Check that you have XBox Beta App installed and (!!!) running correctly
- Install MSFS on default disk drive for MS Store products
Better yet - take Step 2 from beginning and install MSFS from XBox Beta App - that will take out big bunch of headache-inducing problems out of the way.
I had full house of problems like “dvd disk check”, “Press any key to Start” problem, etc. before I figured it out and steps I took are above. After that everyhting works fine.
Also if you have Xbox App account login problems - give this instruction:
Hi, the following will re-install all default apps:
Press start > search for powershell and run as admin >
Copy and paste this into powershell and hit enter: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
a shot - it certainly helped in my case. I run this script in Powershell started with administrator privileges. The source of problem is that some components of XBox Live services fail to run properly for some reason - I’ve reinstalled everything this way.

Just in case:
The source of problem with “Press Any Key to Start” is XBox services - fixed as I mentioned in post above - is that MSFS can’t connect with XBox services and fails that way.
Source of problem when you ran MSFS and it got stuck with blue progress bar and restarting few times doesn’t help is that MSFS installed on different drive with MS Store. Dunno why it is so though…
You will get that message if you are trying to trick the installer by changing your region settings. That seems to work for some, but not others.
The Press any key to start" can be solved by installing the XBox app and signing into it. That is what I had to do to get past it.
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately nothing helped. I always get the “insert disk” message.
same dw, anyone got a fix yet?
Fixed it by buying a Game Pass. No disc-issue any more. After installion I canceled the Game Pass subscription. FS still works fine. I could downlaod the Premium Deluxe content via the content manager in FS.
Oh my God! Really? This is the solution … I hate microsoft a lot.
I will try if a get rid of the pesky “Insert disk message …”
