How to remove the data bandwidth without open the game

I have the same issue. I have it every time MSFS updates. I have used Netlimiter and a recommended VPN software in the past, however both trial versions have expired. For the last update, I paused and unpaused the update every 30 seconds or so (try that with a 120g download…) I am attempting to use Netbalancer to limit the bandwidth to 3Mbs, but that doesn’t seem to be working this time. I have tried every suggestion MSFS has suggested, I have created a ticket with Zendesk, and they simply reiterate the steps I have already taken. This is ridiculous. Largest software company in the world, and they can’t fix the download issues with their own software (on their own operating system). This is incredibly frustrating. If so many users are having this issue, MS should be able to figure out what is wrong and correct it. I have played PC games for the past 2-3 decades and have never experienced this issue.
