Moving from the MS Store to the Steam version, a few questions

Could you help with describing the sequence to take ownership of the exe. I have tried multiple attempts without success.

I wrote a short tutorial this morning and posted it in the self help section…

Take ownership of the Windows Apps folders

The biggest difference between Steam and MS Store versions of MSFS is the access to folders. Many have expressed concern that they cannot link outside add-ons to the Flight Simulator .exe file when required by that add-on. In an attempt to ensure that software installed by the MS Store is secure and safe, MS implemented the WindowsApps Trusted Installer protocol. For users that insist on having administrative control over their computer this protocol can be overcome. Couple of important points…

Good luck.
