Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Every time I start up MSFS, after rebooting and after following all the suggestions from the Forum, the mandatory update reloads all the files but stops at the last install step, number 9. It seems to be in a continuous loop when trying to install fs-base-1.282.fspatch.
What’s strange is that this update installed OK on my PC, but not on this laptop, which is where I mainly run MSFS
