Cannot install WU5: minimum game version required is 1.16.2

One more here :mask:

+1, getting fed up with this. Cant leave the preview on the insider app, cant update via the store. Uninstall the game and reinstall gave me 1.16.2.0ā€¦

I bet that smth is wrong with microsoft apps and system not asobo.
I still cannot leave beta!

No update for me either.

Signed out and in of my MS account.
Rebooted the PC.
MSFS still loads the previous version with no update availbe.

SU IV already required multiple PC reboots to work, not going to experiment with MSFS for much longer.
And Iā€™m definitely not doing another +8hrs full reinstall.

Finally I got it !!!

I tried to obtain the update directly on the Store but nothing. Then I launch the sim and receive the message for update.

Now I know why I cannot leave preview.

I have the same problem I canā€™t leave the beta, when I click the Xbox Insider Hub app closes. ?

I noticed that there was an update for the Xbox Game Bar yesterday, which I downloaded - I seem to recall this was a problem a couple of updates ago and maybe still affects some folk.

I always update the MS Store before attempting any updates - this time it gave me the 1.31GB MS Store Update for MSFS before I entered the sim. Then when I did it went straight to the usual 5.?GB download. After that into the Marketplace and download the Nordic Update - there were a couple of other files needed updating too which I also ran.

Then the sim started normally - Iā€™ll have a go at a flight later, bit busy right now.

To those of you still having issuesā€¦ Try this, this triggered the base updateā€¦ Start->Settings->Apps->Microsoft Flight Simulator (click) then click Advanced optionsā€¦ Then scroll down and click Repair. On the next run it should automatically grab 1.17.3.0 then allow you to do the second update :slight_smile: !!!

I forgot this was a thing. I just uninstalled from the app menu and reinstalled (this only reinstalls the launcher, not the content) and pointed it towards the folder my content was in. Picked up 1.17.3

Faulting application name: XboxInsiderHub.exe

Were you able to fix that? :slight_smile:

I am trying to fix it :rofl:
