Another one to the list.
Another one with problem, using Game pass ultimate. Sim worked normally on Friday, but not on Saturday anymore. This is a major issue and it is really exhausting to adjust all settings at every game launch.

Im having the exact same issue since the update, everytime I launch the sim I have to redo my settings like Id launch it for the first time. Really annoying.
Another victim here!
Yeah at first I thought it was one of the add ons I have but I cleared it all out and tried it again with no success. It worked like a charm before the patch.
I think the problem is not directly with the SIM but more likely with the XBOX accounts or something like that.
On Friday I installed all the latest SIM updates and everything worked perfectly.
Then on Saturday I decided to try out different settings for real-time AI traffic.
I restarted the SIM more than ten times without any problems, then suddenly around 22:00 Italian time, it started asking me for the initial configuration.
Something changed after that time on the server side
I am currently on version 2.50.5005.0. It updated automaticaly this morning to this version, but regarding the problems eveybody is encountering I donāt dare to launch the sim unaware of this version is troublefree.
Hey there @Grigna2020. We already know that the root cause is 99% Gaming Services update. Please read above. 
I could confirm that the workaround from @TenPatrol work 
Thanks for that.
I will add it into the initial post.
Itās mandatory to work as admin and admin file settings WIN 10. Also powershell with admin settings.

Iām not sure if thatās the case, Iām still with this version: GamingServices_2.50.18001.0_x64
Yes, this (2.50.18001.0) is the latest version causing this issue. Once again, read previous posts here.
How can it work? If we are on the old version of Game Services, MSFS doesānt launch and points to MS Store to update Game Services.

How come it updated to version 2.50.5005.0 this morning in Europe? I assume this is an earlier version than 2.50.18001.0.
2.50.5005
2.50.18001
Yes this is the latest version.
Same issue here
Same problem, hoping for a hotfix!
