Thanks Scott. The issue is closed for me. The OP, however, seems to have given up (Unable to launch FS2020 ---> Store - #17 by Fly83130).

Did you restart your PC after deleting both files ?

Had same issues with Gaming Services, deleted entries in registry as suggested, rebooted pc, it was reinstalled when I launched MS Store, I now have version 2.53.17003.0. I launched MSFS, but I have been stuck on Paris screen for absolute ages, with revolving “circle” at the bottom right of screen. Any ideas?

Hi Scotty,

I came right, thanks. I first tried the regedit option, which did not work.
I then tried the “reset” option in Settings/Apps/Microsoft Store/Advanced and shut down pc, restarted, went straight to MSFS icon and launched game, and it loaded and installed update, just finished. Game launches fine.

This registry hack is not SOLVING the problem, it is simply MASKING the problem.

As far as I can see, it is merely bypassing the broken Gaming Services while starting MSFS to allow it to run but that now means that any tasks, checks, maintenance, or updates that are usually done by Gaming service will not now be run.

The SOLUTION is to get Gaming Service working and starting with MSFS, as it should - but (again, as far as I can see) nobody has found out how to do that. Obviously, the ultimate responsibility for this lies with Microsoft (and their representation on here) but they seem more interested in shutting down any threads about this, with dismissive posts that imply “this is solved, you just didn’t search hard enough” and then pointing to this thread - whereas, in truth, they are as clueless as the rest of us.

Sure, better not hack around in Registry, next update you’ll hang it…

Nobody knows ? Dunno if it is that complicated…

Update it from the store,

There are 4 services, you can start or stop them with Windows Services…
