Press Any Key to Start - loop

When I start FS2020 now, I keep getting the “Press any key to start” - takes me to an XBox prompt (on pc). Click OK, and back to 'Press any key to start".

I thought it was an update issue. Gaming services did update. But no other updates available. This happens a lot. How do you fix it?

Start with this checklist.

… when instead of actually removing the code and permanently solving the problem, more code is added to “code around” the most likely avenues of finding this nonsensical piece of logic. :roll_eyes:

It is what it is, but don’t get me wrong, it know first hand it is extremely frustrating to the user and to a lesser degree, those here that try to offer assistance.
However, I have spent a lot of time on these forums and in almost all cases, noticed that when the user finds the issue, it is almost always tied to some setting or software that was changed/added to their PC.
