Cant re-install mfs error Error 0x80073d12, 0x80070005

If there are any FS registry entries there, they aren’t from MSFS.
There may be MSstore and x-box entries.
If you reinstalled the sim, you will already have them and don’t need to worry about the old entries.
The only folder you need to get is your community, if you left anything in it.

dude, im gonna delete my “new” resetted c: windoof drive now, and get my backup back.

the only reason that i had resetted my windoof was to install mfs on d: drive

now i restore my backup! and my community folder is in a safe place^^

Got it.
I’m a little slow here today!!

hehe, np^^

i just had an coffee :slight_smile:

hopefully the flightsimulator folders (symbolic links to my D: drive) from windowsapps are the only ones i have to transfer…

yes, the entire Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe folders.
The start exe is in Windows, System32, and is simply called cmd.exe

…finally i made it to install…

but:

it wont save any settings.

no language change, nothing.

after game restart, it always starts with the game experience settings -.-

and, all the files in the AppData Packages folder are now efs encrypted?!

is this now an new gamepass" feature?

That’s good news!!
They have always been encrypted, as far as I know.
That experience setting seems to be a bug.
Here is a link with a workaround.

Holy Smokes, Jeeeesus ■■■■■■…

After almost 14 days, i made it finally back in mfs with desired main account!

Thank you all very much for helping me out, especially @TheSevenflyer !
And @TenPatrol FOR PRESIDENT !!!

Never had such weard, strange issues in my whole life as an IT Sys-Admin the past 25 Years…

Now my odyssey seems to be completed! <3

I made it already to fix the old 1.12.13. on 9th february… but then the new update 1.13.16 appeared on 16th of february… so the story starts from scratch…
i made it then to work with an new, fresh admin account on same rig
but i saw then that it wont save any settings -.-
and there is stilll the problem, that this new account is not my primary account with all my VR Gear, Steam, 3rd party Aps like AirHauler2, etc and +300GB of a whole bunch of different, very complex-to-install AdminTools, Apps+Games…
And now @TheSevenflyer saved my life with that awesome post from the very pro-experienced @TenPatrol !!!
Chapeau and many thannxxx again! ^^

-solved ^^

p.s. the only last thing left over is that i dont have my former gfx and joystick HOTAS settings back. so there must be also an issue with the cloud!
but i will take my time to re-configure that all back.
Or is there any chance to import /copy over old settings?
i have an zip from my complete appdata/packages folder from last september

Controls settings are still available. Change the defaul profiles.
