After the latest update MSFS does not start. I also tried to run in safe mode but have the same result. The simulator stuck when is loading the flight after I created the flight plan.

It can be any number of things causing this. Here is a checklist to go through. If you have used the Google map replacement, uninstall it using it’s uninstaller. Ensure any third party antivirus programs (Avast, AVG, etc) are shut down. Ensure you have an open path through the Window’s firewall. …

Interesting. 30 minutes ago I finished a flight, then rebooted my computer to prepare for a community flight. I am now stuck on the “Checking for updates” screen. I read that it lasted for a few hours for another poster. Gonna try some of the suggestions above too. Otherwise I hope to just wait…

It worked for me in my situation. Thank you.
