What’s going on? Now, the simulator doesn’t launch. I get a black screen and it crashes to desktop. Gee, any help?
Perhaps search the huge number of threads with this and other issues, many with solutions.
Thanks. Can you resuggest one? I can’t see a search feature on this page!
Found the search…disregard my last post.

I’m so disappointed at this simulator… Besides not being able to launch it, now, and after trying a reinstall, I can’t download it from the store or X-box. Got the error 0x000001, checked the community for solutions, people have the same problem, no solutions. Simply unacceptable…
I had the same problem. Then I turned off the “real-time protection” in Windows 10 Security, and the sim start as normal.
I know many of the users who you have helped have thanked you but please let me also thank for your massive assistance on several threads dealing with the same issue. You are IMO the perfect example of the type of forum members this community needs.
No need to disable real-time protection.

I tried your solution and it’s still not launching. This is so frustrating. 2 and a half days now.
I just wanted to know if the Steam version has this issue… I even formatted my PC because of that.
Opem microsoft store. Update gaming services app and fly
but this is a beta version or a paid version? but if they ignore us we ask for a refund together and see if after 120 euro spent I have to do various actions on windows or open powershell or more. They call themselves professionals but they want money and they don’t give us assistance
Opem microsoft store. Update gaming services app and fly
Solution: Update Gaming Services! It worked for me. 1.) I have downloaded XBox App Beta Xbox app for Windows 10 | Xbox and installed it. 2.) Opened the Microsoft Store and updated XBox app and Gaming Services 3.) Launched MSFS and it 's working again. However issue was with the Gaming Services and obviously they have addressed the issue. Happy flying
Thank You , it is working now. I did try your solution.
You’re welcome mate
