Hi @RockhopperCI & welcome to the forums! :slightly_smiling_face:

Are you still having this issue?

The issue is now resolved. The ‘Xbox Support’ option gave me a call from a Tech who resolved my issue via ‘remote’ Log in. I was very impressed - they were very patient, found a fix and remedied the problem for me. Seems to have been that some files got corrupted during the latest MSFS update.
