Fresh Install Windows & FS2020 CTD

After hours of research here is the solution which worked for me:

  1. Keep your USB Joysticks CONNECTED while this step by step:

  2. Go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs → Inside all content inside wgs this will delete your controller profiles.

  3. After having done this, disconnect your internet from the PC and start the game, it will tell you to adjust your settings in Microsoft Store in order to allow the offline mode. → Having this pop up, connect the internet again and make the adjustment as described in the settings of Microsoft Store.

  4. Now disconnect the internet again and start the game, it will pop up that MSFS cannot validate your licence but you can proceed and you will have to set up MSFS as it is your first time.

  5. Now you should be in the main menue. Go to the world menu and just make a random flight and launch it. Then in the plane, adjust your controller.

  6. NOW connect back to the internet

    1. Restart the game with the internet ON
      After you press the any key to start you will get prompted with a UI dialogue box titled “gaming UI”. It gives you the option to select two profiles a cloud based one (older) or this machine (newer and local). Select the local machine/newer and let the game load.

This worked for me so all steps here under your control.
