Hi there,
Currently experiencing kind of same issues.
Flights won’t load leading to loss of internet connection, infinite loading time wait & crash.
Exactly same issue.. and same timeframe.
Seems that synchronising Windows Time at startup helps !
Didn’t help on my end. Thanks though.

I have the same problem. Noticed that my CPU is running at 98%. Maybe it can’t keep up? My internet connection is definitely not being lost. Still fails even when MSFS 2024 is given high priority. Have rarely managed to run the game since purchase. Usually give up after about 20 minutes of trying to load. Can anyone tell me what the most likely cause is?
Solved this ! Did a complete Uninstall from Windows11 apps and then after a re-boot , installed from the Microsoft Store. My guess is the last update screwed something up. Had to reset my community directory to where I had moved it but everything else “seems” well again.
Sigh ! So I’ll uninstall and re install…I shall try it…Im quite frustrated same issue, once it doesnt connect to the network it stays that way..restarting sim is to no avail. I remove all content in the community folder then uninstall, reboot , reinstall and hope to recreate the same exact community location…well we’ll see. 
Is there any way to effectively fix or avoid this issue right now? Urgent!
Unfortunately the sim is streamed, so if you can’t log into the sim, it won’t work.
The “Sim Support” tab at the top of the page has a searchable database of help articles.
That may be a good place to start looking for solutions for your issue.
August 2026 - Network Connection lost. Just started this morning. Replaced ethernet cable with same result. Program loads quickly. When I go to Free Flight, selected a default GS1000 172 (btw Community Folder is empty), click start flight, it stalls and then gives me the Connection to network lost. Also, colors are washed out.
Results of speed test and screenshots of MSFS 2024. Any help would be appreciated.
