New Win 11 22H2 Clean install, new FS2020 Clean install and it will not Launch

Tried everything.

Click Play and nothing happens.

Edit:
Just found this:
" This may mean that the console was unable to verify the license for the game or app . This occurs when you’re not signed in to Xbox Live."

I’m checking this now. -----> not any help

Edit 2: Also tried the following and it did not help:

✓ CLEAR CACHE:
a) Search Disk Cleanup on start up menu
Select your OS drive

Hit Clean up
Okay

If your PC is named differently to before the OS reinstall it will create a new device in your Microsoft account. You must delete the old one.

Thanks for the help.

I checked my MS Account.
I did rename the PC.

But, it is showing as the only only one there. (other than my Laptop)

Xbox Live appears to be down.
Is that a problem?

I’m getting an 0x803F7000 error. Xbox live related error.

I get no response from this site.

Strange as I had two when I reinstalled from an iso a while back. Maybe they changed something.
The only outage I see on there is EA games Fifa 23.

I am at a loss of what to do.

Xbox app installs FS2020.
It has the “Play” button displayed.
But, clicking it does nothing.

I don’t know what to do.

If you can remember the old name edit the new one to suit, restart your PC and then run SFC scannow and dism
Run them even if you can’t remember

I’m going to ask you a stupid question…
You did a good install?
the initial package on C:\ and the rest of the game on your D:\

I told it to install on D:
Xbox install only installs the initial 1.8 GB.

Then displays the “Play” button.

I have done a format of C: and D:

Then a new clean install via USB of Win 11 22H2

Then changed the PC name to what it was under Win 10 22H2

Still does not Launch FS2020

edit:

just ran sfc /scannow but no change

Don’t know options for DISM

edit 2:
getting these now

edit 4:
now getting these

Did you install to a new or different drive lately? if so it must be NTFS formatted
If not then run Chkdsk

Thanks for your replies.

Did another clean install back to Win 10 22H2 and Xbox/MS Store did let FS2020 install.

Then did another clean install to Win 11 22H2 and FS2020 did install this time.

Don’t know what the problem was.
But this last time, I formatted the C: and D: drives before the install
with the Media Creation USB .

Anyway, success.

Thanks again.
