I have the exact same problem unfortunately
0x80070490 This is the code I get when I try to update via the ms store.
I’ve tried locating my update files to force an update but nothing can be found that contains any update files. Is there anyone with a solution?

I solved my problem by doing the following:

  1. Right click on the Windows icon
  2. Click on Settings
  3. Click on Storage
  4. Click on Apps and Features
  5. Click On MSFS
  6. Click on Advanced Options
  7. Click on Repair

After doing this, I was able to start MSFA and successfully downlead SU 13.

Hey Certain Binkie,

I have tried this but was not successful when I follow these steps it does say the space it takes and I can pres the repair button. But when I look underneath it I only see the digital ownership file.
Did you also have this?
