What is going on with MSFS not Launching recently
About a week ago, the game wouldn’t launch, even over an hour later, it was still waiting to Launch
I did an uninstall and then tried to install, MS Store wasn’t working, eventually I was finally able to install, Over 200 GB of the base program and reloading World Updates twice, later??? It finally ran…

I suspect the issue was server related, due to what I saw with MS Store

Yesterday, it took a 11s… Launching typically takes about 10s, so no big deal

Today this is what greets me. The same thing happened as before. I’m not going to uninstall and reinstall, I don’t need that head ache again
Still waiting

Is gaming services up to date and the other updates in the Windows Store?

I did find gaming Services did need an update. Everything seemed fine until yesterday (sort of)
It worked for a while when the issue occurred again about 4 days ago, then XBox Game bar needed an update, needed a reboot and I was back and playing again, until yesterday.
More checks in the store, updated everything that needed updating, rebooted, no joy

Ran a MSFS Repair in Settings> Apps today.

I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled (not from scratch) It’s bad enough having to spend a whole day reinstalling
