He can’t change the game language if he can’t even launch it.

UPDATE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As an update and at the request of the OP, I’ll describe the solution below. I won’t paste the full conversation, since private messages are private. I’ll only include the key points.

The bug was caused by a combination of three main factors:

  1. An incorrect transition from offline mode back to online mode (there’s a specific way to do it properly).
  2. Unnecessary apps like Xbox Companion app and Xbox Hub legacy, which I recommended uninstalling.
  3. I advised using the Terminate, Repair and Reset in the advanced settings of the Xbox Live app.

Then I suggested the following steps:
4. Uninstall Gaming Services and the Xbox app, then restart PC.
5. Reinstall the Xbox app - importantly, I did NOT recommend installing Gaming Services manually via the Microsoft Store app, as it gets installed automatically along with the Xbox app.
6. Install the English (United States) language pack in Windows, restart PC and then launch MSFS.

OP followed all the steps and confirmed that everything is now working fine and he can play again. He also asked me to share these steps here in case it helps someone else in the future.

Hi all, a big thank you to every person who has tried to help me, and very speccially to @TenPatrol , who has supported all the process with big patience and diligence.
I can confirm that the solution he finnaly found and describes here is working. I have restarted my PC about five times since yesterday, and 2020 and 2024 start perfectly now, and work also perfectly with all the add-ons and peripherals.

I hope this issue don’t cause more troubles to the people, thanks to @TenPatrol wisdom and kindness. People like him make this community invaluable.
