I have the same problem. I made all the recommendations of the forum but none worked, I also did a clean installation of windows that was useless. I give up and hope tomorrow’s update fixes this problem
I won’t even get opp. to download update to possibly fix problem, as each time I try to load SIM, it tells me its attempting to download (what is already fully installed, and was working fine), then tells me I own this product, and this product is installed. I attempt to launch…same over and over…
I’m not about to reinstall Windows and Sim again 3times in one month. Check out vid @0305 on 17 jun 21…
Sick of it now to be honest…
Off to chill for a while with P3D.4, at least it launches.

Cheers Ten, but I’ve tried to do that, and to no avail. Used Uninstaller Pro to remove and it still says same, Ie; you own this product…install to my machines(devices), product installed. Launch…nothing…
So I’m gonna fry drive altogether, found an ISO to (update) my OS…
As these issues are since a Win update (I normally have auto updates’Disabled’, but in process of forcing an update I required and needed, one of the Microsoft auto updates slipped past, which is what I think messed it all up).
I’ll keep you posted.
Don‘t know if it is still relevant, but can not hurt to link it:
