CTD During MSFS Update - XBox Outage Related?

I have been trying relentlessly to start MSFS. It is relentlessly trying to process an update, but at about 50%, it crashes to the desktop. This happens with each attempt.

What is the likelihood this is likely due to the major outage reported by XBox of the store and subscriptions? Should I just wait it out?, or proceed as planned to wipe and reinstall via the XBox app?
