Help I can't access MSFS

[Curtgame1508]

Hi everyone I am addressing an issue which I hope someone can fix for me. I went to open MSFS and it opened but then it gave me this message

I have no idea what to do and I hope someone can help me!

Hi,have you tried to start the app “as an amministrator”?

[Curtgame1508]

I will try that and let you know if it works:)

Well I tried and nothing happened? any other options?

Have you run it from the XBOX App?

Searching in the forum I’ve found this :

Windows cannot access the specific device, path or file

You do not have the appropriate permissions . . . . OK So, dinking with the permissions to access the FLIGHTSIM.EXE and trying to get Oculus Tray Tool to work, I screwed up my install. Here’s the issue… I can access MSFS from my desktop icon or the FLIGHTSIM.EXE file if I use the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR (Right Click) option. However, if I just double click the icon, I get the error message above “You do not have the appropriate permissions”. I have searched and searched but have hit a brick wall……

Hope this thread can help. Otherwise you should ask help/assistance at the Zendesk where you can find a FAQ section that may help too. I’ve never encountered this issue so I have no certain answers.
You might try a “refresh” of the App in windows and /or go to Microsoft-store and log-out.Restart windows , return to Microsoft-store and log-in again.There isn’t a certain solution here afaik.
