Checking for updates? No, we're way past that

What I don’t like is that to the left, that this topic has been solved! To what end? MS or asobo have not said one word on what the problem is or if they have rectified the issue or if/what an official work around might be, that is if they have not yet fixed the issue, so am standing by for further advice (and will report any further stuck on “Checking for Updates” issues or any other conditions that affect the smooth loading of this sim.

Hello @nbrich1,

My colleagues @Chewwy94 and @BoomUga have posted several possible workarounds that have reportedly worked for some players here, here, here, here, and here.

We have also created a forum survey to help us gather more information about who is experiencing this issue (and also who is not experiencing it) so we can try to find a common root cause.

We have tagged this post as the “Solution” so that it will appear embedded in the top post of the topic and direct more people to the survey. We’re aware the issue is not resolved yet, but unfortunately the only way the forum software allows us to embed a post within the OP so that it shows up at the top of the thread is to mark it as the “Solution”.

We understand the Checking For Updates issue is very frustrating to those who are experiencing it. We have logged this issue in our system, escalated it internally, and we have people working to fully resolve it. We will share more information with you when it is available.

Thanks,
MSFS Team
