I tried all possible solutions in this thread except reinstalling windows. Hence the community cant find a solution, I posted the issue here.
happened to me a short while ago. i uninstalled the sim (without deleting the data files) then reinstalled it from xbox pc app.
Sim was up and running again, and when it asked to re-download the data files to default folder i pointed it to the old folder and the sim ran nicely.
Thanks but this issue occured direkt after a fresh install.
