maybe a screenshot of what is going on would help?
Run msfs as administrator.
Right click on msfs icon and select > run as administrator.
The solution worked for me some days very well, now Im again in the Windows Store - updated anything again - sorry msfs it is anoying me. After three month only CTDs and now stuck on Windows Store more or less randomly. I have only one requirement - flying without trouble! May be it is the wrong game for my requirements. Sorry for that, but I had to express my frustration here.
Have a good weekend pilots.

Been having the dreaded gaming services redirect when trying to run the game. Did the most recent SU6 and did a flight with it no problems in the Just Flight Hawk.
Then one day I got the gaming services on the windows store page everytime I tried to run the sim from the Xbox app.
Iāve been through everything I can to get it to work.
Tried wsreset.exe
Running the commands through the windows powershell prompt
Get-AppxPackage windowsstore | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage xboxapp | Remove-AppxPackage
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register ā$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xmlā}
Restarting the pc between
Totally uninstalled FS2020
Running sfc /scannow on C drive
Disabling my anti virus and windows firewall and trying to install
Windows is upto date and so is everything in the store.
You name it and Iāve tried and nothing I do will get the game to install. Iām signed in on the correct account in the store I used to purchase the game as its the only email I use for Microsoft. Its in my library but when I click install on next to the game it doesnāt do anything.
Becoming a bit of a joke really and itās utterly frustrating why it canāt be resolved.
If anyone can help shed any light on this and something which may help apart from a total reinstall of windows then please fire away before I just bin it and be dome with it!
Thanks
Starting with SU6, Iāve been having all kinds of problems too.
First, something corrupted the update of Gaming Services, and Iām still not convinced itās working right.
But at least itās not throwing errors in Event Viewer. But, strangely, after a system restore, and FULL reinstallation of MSFS2020 from scratch, iām still missing all of my Activity Flights - The Bush Trips, the Flight Training, Challenges, etc. Just blank screens. I checked and everything is up to date with Windows, MS Store, and the Sim. Nothing missing in the Content Manager. All of the files are in the āOfficialā folder in the game file structure. They just down show up in sim! Any ideas?
Start > settings > apps
Click gaming services > advanced settings> repair and reset.
Restart PC

Tried that many times and still no luck getting it to install. Iāve even gone to the lengths of completely uninstalling my anti virus which still hasnāt helped.
Itās abit of a farce that this happens and MS has no answer for it and no way of it being fixed for what seems to be a very common issue for the community.
Is there possibly some files which need to be manually removed that havenāt gone when Iāve tried to reset the app/uninstall it?
This worked!!! Thank you!

Youāre very welcome.
If doesnt help - contact ms support How to get help in Windows (microsoft.com)
Hi all.
Success at last.
After trying all of the suggested solutions on these and other forums to no effect, I bit the bullet and tried the Media creation tool solution which some people had had success with without having to completely reinstall the sim or Win 10.
I used one specifically for 21H1 which is my OS.
Initially it is a bit daunting as it implies you are carrying out an update but after selecting āākeep files and appsāā within about 45 mins and restarting a few times it had done itās dark reinstall and windows looked and ran exactly as before with no need to reinstall anything.
The good news was that MSFS started and ran as normal so Iām back in the air without any major upsets.
Hope it can work for those who havenāt found relief in any of the other solutions but just in case I had backed up some of my files in case it had gone awry and win 10 needed a complete reinstall.
Cheers
Tried that too, Iāve submitted a request to FS support after being on live chat screen sharing with MS Support and Xbox support and getting nowhere.
Thanks for suggesting this! This is the only method that worked for me and now itās launched and installing all the packages!
Hopefully this is the end of the problems 
Thanks

This worked for me as well. I did the same in MSFS2020 as well but I donāt think that was necessaryā¦
No need.
I found all errors went away when i changed install drive to c: drive all works well now.
