Thank you very kindly for the reply. Appreciate you.
Tried the “Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed” tool but it didnt find MSFS and didn’t provide a search to find it.
Followed a MS link to " Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store " … nada
Ran the register cmds in terminal as Admin and didn’t help either.
Don’t have and have never had this problem of seeing the directory but not the files in any other app install. Figure it’s some MS under the hood issue but no idea what. Again - appreciate you !
