Msfs 2020 will not shut down fully

Bug Reporting Hub Resolved

I think we all share the frustration that bugs of this nature cause. But to be fair mistakes happen. No one is perfect. What really matters is how developers and publishers respond to bugs when they are discovered.

I think that the least we should expect from Microsoft/Asobo is an acknowledgement here that they not only recognize that a new bug has unfortunately been introduced but that they are looking into it and will update us within a specified timeframe regarding their plans to address the bug.

Bugs are not always easy to fix, if you take the codebase for MSFS, Windows, Xbox, Gaming Services etc. you’re looking at millions maybe tens of millions of lines of code. So, I don’t expect a fix overnight, but I do expect at the very least a comment here from the developers on what is being done to set things right and maybe some additional comment on some of the workarounds that many community members have put a lot of personal time and effort into developing and sharing.

So, come on MS and Asobo how about engaging with your community on this??

Right by now I do look more for other options after been investing some into this, as with time I learned: the task to fix bugs might be to much asked to Asobo.

I am quite assured that priorities are not in fixing bugs, I expect more as things have to keep on going in economy that only a very small percentage is invested for casual maintenance, that’s the way I name this.

As result I already skipped FS2020/24 on Xbox X, both SIMs!
Right by now I am quite into VR, and any of these no matter what bugs are not particularly pleasant. I observed also development as results in functionality are two worlds, between VR and on your monitor.

I got other by far more demanding games in specs where I had to give it a huge amount of work between so many components to optimize.
And it works stable!! And you got choice the way you play the game from one mod to other.

I do believe firmly that Asobo has to look for their numbers, with latest 2024 this cannot work out.

Ok they got my money, often 7/10 they win, the Rest I might have better spend in other ways, as feeding.

Deception is obvious cause of lack of functionality.

This problem about MSFS2020 does not fully quit, might surely not be solved, as many other bug logged thread’s. There is been threads with more than 1k votes unsolved.

Make the numbers, how many you might lose in this marketing game, and that is what it is about it: 50k$ ?
To my understanding is this below 1%.

As consequence, as I do like to fly, suddenly do not use anymore MSFS.

I tried several times all suggested fixes above: once with restore I have been able to shut down on screen, BUT not in Task Manager.

I have not seen any issues in MSFS using the batch file solution. It is important to close MSFS using the “Quit to Desktop” button in the app before running the batch file.

I have seen that using Alt + F4 to close MSFS can give issues, probably because logs and statuses are updated when pressing the Quit button.

I ended up

  1. uninstalling gaming services(settings/apps).
  2. open ms store, click on profile/settings. turn off App updates.
  3. In MS Store, search xbox app. Open. This should reinstalled the older working version of Gaming services 27.99.70010.
    The problem is Gaming services is being updated to a newer version which is causing the shutdown issues. Turning off the auto updates in MS Store should prevent it from updating.

That’s very similar to what I suggested about 4 days ago — glad to see it’s working for you now

Hi TenPtrol, I followed all your steps exactly and completed them.
Unfortunately, the Microsoft Store is still reinstalling the latest version of Gaming Services (28.100.8001.0).
I then uninstalled this version, restarted Xbox, and was able to get back to the working version (27.99.70010).
Too bad, I guess that’s how it has to be.

well it worked for about 2 hours and I am back to it not shutting down. Should I undo all the changes I made ?

832

Uninstall gaming services.
Now launch the Xbox app and wait until the update progress bar reaches 100%

833

sorry the Changes that were suggested

834

I have this version too

835

TenPatrol I looked at the gaming console version and it is back to 28.100.8001.0 I probably did something wrong but I can’t figure out what that was.

836

Uninstall gaming services.
Now launch the Xbox app and wait until the update progress bar reaches 100%

私も同じ状態が続いています。MSFS＿Addon＿Linker も動作していません。
それからDLが何度も繰り返されます。誰かの改善策ではないでしょうね？

Mod edit:

I’m still in the same situation. MSFS_Addon_Linker is also not working.
Then the DL is repeated over and over again. It’s not someone’s way of improving it, is it?
