Do you have any add-ons in your Community folder? If yes, please remove and retest before posting. I had addons in the folder, but have removed them, MSFS now loads. Will try adding the addons back one by one. Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? Using developer mode, but made no …

I’ve fixed it - the issue was the manifest which in the download has contents, did not have anything inside it after the crash and restart. So if anyone else gets this, check your addons for an empty manifest - if manifest is 0 kb reinstall the addon again.

Crashed, restarted by itself and now continually 'checking for updates'
