Simulator stuck on loading the FBW A320NEO

Hi,
As of a couple of days ago I can’t load the FBW A320 NEO into the sim. It happens to any FBW version - Stable/Development/Experimental, the loading screen get’s stuck on the blue line about halfway thru. So I tried the following:

  1. Remove all contents of the Community folder - restarted and I could now select a plane and load it into the sim.
  2. Installed the Experimental version of the FBW A320 - the loading screen get’s stuck half way thru.
  3. Removed the FBW A320, also the files in the FBW simulation folder (not the Work Folder) - restarted and I could now select a plane and load it into the sim.
  4. I tried the same with the Stable and Development versions, but the loading screen gets stuck on the blue progress line half way thru (I need to use the TaskManager to close the Sim).
  5. I loaded all folders back into the Community folder (w/o the FBW A320) and was able to use the simulator normal.
    I am using the latest installer and FBW A320 version. Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Thanks for help

I found a pattern for myself but do not know if it helps you.
When I update the fbw and try a fly it also stucks. I got to shut down the msfs and have also to restart the pc. I can not load msfs again without a restart because some problem in the background with steam.
After the restart I am able to start a flight and the loading is much faster. If the fbw gets an update, same problem. Load, stuck the first time, stopping msfs via task manager, restart, after that it works.

Maybe a dumb suggestion but check the Community Manager in the game and make sure FBW is disabled/deleted from there. I had a similar issue and it was because I had previously installed it through the marketplace and then installed a developer version via the FBW installer so the two copies were conflicting.

I have the MS store purchased version of MSFS2020, so no Steam issue.
Also I checked the Contend Manager for any FBW A320 data, but since I only used the Installation Manager of FBW, there is no data in the Content Manager, so back to square 1.
Thanks for suggestions, if anyone knows of similar issue, I appreciate the input
Thanks

So I tried the “Repair” function in Windows Apps, but that did not solve the problem. Next I used the “Reset” function and after a lengthy install I could load the FBW Experimental A320 again. It took a few hours, but it works again.
Again thanks for suggestions
