This other note was posted on the Community Help channel in the official MSFS Discord Server, which is also a great resource.
Note - it will reset your control settings (i.e., joystick, etc) - that can’t be helped.
— This fix only applies for when:
- If you played the game before and set an limiter on your download speed, later uninstalled the game.
- When reinstalling, you have the download speed limited by the limiter. (Which I had set way to low for some stupid reason)
— Fix
- Make sure FS2020 is off.
- Go to C:\Users[Your username]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData
- Delete the “wgs” folder.
- Disable your internet
- Start FS2020 and get to a configuration screen
- Re-enable your internet
- Limit is gone.
