Unable to Purchase Products in Marketplace

I had the same problem with a brand new PC built for MSFS 2020, and a new install of the game.

I am now able to purchase addon products in MSFS 2020 Marketplace. I called Microsoft support, and they somehow determined that my base installation of Windows 10 was corrupt, so they walked me through a fresh installation of Windows 10 on my computer, at which point I was able to start making purchases in MSFS 2020 Marketplace.

First they updated Windows 10, then they “repaired” and then “re-installed” Microsoft Store and the Xbox app on my computer, but nothing worked. Finally, they walked me through a reinstallation of Windows 10, and that worked.

Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that is how they fixed my problem. So I would suggest you do the same in this order…

  1. Update Windows 10 to the latest version (install all updates available)
  2. “Repair” you Microsoft Store and Xbox apps
  3. Reinstall your Microsoft Store and Xbox apps
  4. As a final resort, reinstall Windows 10 to the latest version

Even though my Windows 10 seemed to be running perfectly, and my computer is only 2 months old, Microsoft support said it had somehow become corrupted in the interface with Microsoft Store and Xbox, and in the end, they were right.

Hope that helps!
