I went to run FS2020 and it said mandatory patch must be installed. So it went to the windows store and started to run a download and gave an error saying the game was still running. I guess it was still self terminating so I gave it a moment and then refreshed the page at the store and it started to download yet again but now it says error - unknown error. How useful… Any ideas on what to try to get past this?
Restart your Machine maybe helps
Reboot? Maybe logout of the store & back ?
Can’t hurt to try

Exit out of the game and then download the initial install update. After that is installed, relaunch the title and the 15GB download should start.
Windows was helping me with an unsolicited dismount of my drive - remounting it resolved the issue.
It did a small download and now when I attempt to run that application it sends me to the windows store to the game services page to let me know I already have that installed. That’s it. It refuses to do anything but that…
If I click on play in the windows store it does nothing… Not sure what to do now…
Please try the following:
- Uninstall gaming services by:
Opening a Powershell window in Administrator mode and running the following command:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
- Uninstall flight simulator but kept the 90GB download data folder.
- Reboot PC
- Reinstall gaming services.
- Reinstall flight simulator.
- Restart 1 more time, launch the game. When starting up, point the game to the directory with the large game download folder.
This whole download is a disaster!
Im busy now for 3 hours and everytime its broken by the end.
Ive have never had this kind of ■■■■ with any game.
If this took long i quit with msfs2020!
Finito!!!

Yea, its a cirkus. My game is unplayable after update. Not only crashes the game but my complete PC blackscreens and can´t be shutoff. I have a high end rig not an old one. I have to download the complete game again 110 Gig to see if this ■■■■■■-patch can work. It´s a complete fars …
I did this. It resolved nothing. I had to delete everything and re-install from scratch to get it to work again. Awesome user experience.
For patch 21 a complete re-install had to be done. Patch 3 had issues for me but was better than patch 2.
