Changing the My Library folder results in endless loop

It looks like you’ve selected the wrong folder. Instead of choosing the Community subfolder directly, you should select the parent folder , which in your case is:

Y:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

You should not point to the Community folder itself, as MSFS 2024 will locate it automatically within the selected directory. Choosing the Community folder directly, it may result in MSFS creating a new Community folder inside the existing one.
Y:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community\Community

So to repeat clearly: select the folder
Y:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
not
Y:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Community

EDIT
If for some reason you can’t change the folder directly within MSFS, follow these steps:

  • Close MSFS 2024
  • Open the file named Usercfg.opt – you’ll find it in:
    C:\Users\Yourusername\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
  • Scroll to the last line of the file.
  • Edit that line so it looks like this:
    InstalledPackagesPath “Y:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024”
