Sim does not start after SU8

Are you on Xbox, Steam or Microsoft Store version?
Steam

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?
No

After the update, sim is stuck on the loading page. I tried multiple times giving the sim more than 20 minutes but still stuck on the loading screen.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:
Ryzen 7 2700x
RTX 2060
32GB 3200 RAM

After the update i get a blank screen and the simulator doesnā€™t load. Iā€™ve tried a reboot without successā€¦ Itā€™s hundreds of gigs of data and I really donā€™t want to uninstall and reinstallā€¦ Is anyone else seeing this? Thanks

LOL I thought that it was me being inpatient about the sim. Glad to see it is not just me but SAD we are all having this problem. I wish that they would just push out fixes every Friday until we get it working right. Now I have to wait a month or so for a good fix that may not even work. :cry:

MSFS was working fine for me on a pc, I9-12900, Z690 MB, 3080 TI GPU, Reverb G2.
Since Su8, it tries to enter VR before finishing the program, but gets stuck in steam VR ā€˜homeā€™. If I disconnect the Reverb prior to loading MSFS, it tells me that there is no VR headset connected. I have uninstalled and re installed from Xbox app 3 times, even installing to a different directory to ensure nothing ā€˜oldā€™ remains.
About to abandon MSFS completely. Or at least wait a month or so and start again?
It has got to the main page once, but installing world updates caused a CTD.

Bad news hereā€¦
Reformatted hard drive and reinstalled windows.
added only enough stuff (bare minimum software)
Updated windows and nvidia driver.
Set bios to default.
and the game is stuck on the above screen shot.
This same thing happened on the beta su8 .
su7 was flawless.
Now it is completely broken.
Does this mean I now have incompatible hardware??
There nothing left for me to doā€¦

Same here, Iā€™m unable to even get to the Main Menu anymore.

How did something like this not get noticed in the beta?

Just an update to this: I went away and left it on the load screen, and about 45-50 minutes later the loading finished. Itā€™s not clear if Iā€™m going to have to do this every timeā€¦

Same here, very long loading times. Then after hitting the fly button the screen went black and only the blue progress bar is visible. It stucks at about 40% and no loading is possibleā€¦

I left mine running for over an hour. Stuck on black loading screen

Mine is the same as of update 8
Tried everything, i uninstalled it completely the reinstalled it and it worked i did installed all the updates again, but then i just put 2 add ons back into the community folder and now back to square on againā€¦
So looks like im going to have to uninstall it againā€¦

I finally fixed my problem with the system stuck on the loading screenā€¦
This has taken me 5 days and over $100 in cost.
I will forgo the bloody details.
It required a complete reload including remove and reset the partition.
Purchase a new copy of windows10 including the registration key.
Install windows and start everything from scratch.
That is what it took and it did suckā€¦
