Brief description of the issue:
Unable to reinstall FS20 ,the download freezes without any message I redid the redownload 15 times over 3 days and I still have the problem.
Good evening ,
First of all, I want to tell you that I’m not the type to post at the slightest problem, I often search for days and weeks as is the case this evening before posting on a forum. And tonight, I admit to being extremely demoralized, what will follow is a bit long to explain, but I want to detail the situation for your own understanding, and maybe receive a solution…
First of all: I was super happy to have put together a new next-generation PC Here’s for the gear part.
I7 12700 K – Cooling cooler Vortex 240 +CM Gygabyte Z690 – 64 Giga Memory 4800 M/t/s Kingston -Gpu RTX 3080 of 12 Giga of non OC memory – 2 M.2 SSD disk: 500G (for W11) SS – and 1 TB to receive FS20 and XP11-12. Without any decorations which are on classic 10TB hard drives for the moment.

Then of course I installed the drivers for this PC with the gigabyte APP, center tool. (I give you all the details to show you that I leave nothing to chance and that I try to do things correctly.)
I installed this ‘beau monde’ on W11 Pro version 22H2. As a precaution I preferred not to do a disk transfer, because my W11 had some problems, so I reinstalled on a cleaned partition and without choosing in the W11 installation options to recover information and documents and others.
Then came the time to reinstall Steam and FS20. Launch the installation, I indicate the disk and the folder where I want to copy the simulation, and I have 1 TB of space.
And here at this stage the galley begins……Fs20 quickly downloads 6giga the files are in the right place…and then the download freezes without any error message and after about 30’ Fs20 closes without any message.
Then there I think I have a logical idea: the information of my old PC is indicated on the Microsoft Store and that this PC is an I5 8600 K and Z370 motherboard and 32 gigs of memory. I tell myself that my new PC must also be indicated. And since the license is for a ‘single’ PC, I have to modify this on the store.
I go to my Microsoft Store account, and I actually see that my 2 PCs are indicated, so I delete my 1st PC I5 8600K-Z370, so that it complies with the license for FS20. And so now everything is correct on my account.
I redo over 4 days a fortnight of downloading using 2 methods.
1- I delete everything that installed with the 2 FS20 folders on ‘AppData’ Local and Roaming
2- I delete nothing I leave in Official the files already downloaded.
And during these I get different reactions from FS20.
. the screen freezes in ‘all cases’ but sometimes fs20 closes on its own and sometimes I have to close it myself.
And other times I get this message about 5 times.

And there I start my FS 20 installation again:
I restart the pc and FS20 which downloads 6giga and again the download does not care and fS20 does nothing and I again get the error messaqe above.
There I start boiling red… and not believing this message at all, but an FS20 bug.
I go to my investigations on the Microsoft forum and there I begin to understand that this is a well known problem and without any reliable information to fix it.
Knowing that W11 also has a lot of bugs, I run FixWin 11 to detect any problems not visible in W11.

So following this information on the forum I decided to look at my W11 and I launched the FixWin11 tools to see if it was W11 in question …

And during the various tests of which all passed, I end with the test:
Register Store Apps, because as the store in Fs20 is often not available, and personally I have never managed to make any purchase I have FixWin 11 do this test. And I have the following bad surprise;
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1znEG1Vwkv6TiIVEP3RMZu0vOWHtbhbek/view?usp=share_link
I launch the repair, and I redo the procedure 3 times and 3 times I have this screen, the repairs of Fixwin 11, have no effect.
I am there of my investigations and I acknowledge not knowing any more what to do. Apart from uninstalling W11 and reverting to W10.
And if therefore some sharp minds can give me leads or advice to get me out of this monumental mess, as much to say that I will be very grateful to you.
ar this evening all this demoralizes me, a week that I have trouble not being able to reinstall FS20 it’s hard to cash in and manage. when we have just set up a new idiot
