Searching around the forums apparently there are others who have had similar problems.
Right now I am at the point to give up on ever getting this thing going again. As previously stated when i try to start msfs it simply takes me directly to the store and a gaming services page. The entire sim is still installed on my machine and I am being prevented from starting it…
When I looked into re-downloading again the only option I am presented is to purchase it again. Microsoft does not answer the phone when calling support. Something appears not to be right here.
