Before opening this topic I tried a lot of solutions found in internet:

  • updated windows
  • restored store
  • Cleaned all dirty msfs files and dirs
  • Disconnected/reconnected network devices and plugin peripherals

I can’t reach the main menu so I can’t click on play button :frowning:

Most of those support articles can still offer some help.

Is there a way to force to download again latest update?

It seems there might be a possibility if you have a copy of the “packages” (Official folder) from the old version. If you do, uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher could help.
After restarting the launcher would update MSFS.

I do not have that copy :frowning:
