Myne is saying Code: 0x80073D02 = application still open when I know it is not.
I ended up just uninstalling the game. Redownloading the entire thing now

Possibly a store problem. Try âwsreset.exeâ from the run command and see if that helps.
I am getting the error and wsreset did not fix it.

Are you on Windows 10 Insider build?
This issue usually occurs in Windows 10 Insider Preview and prevents users from installing or updating apps from the Store.
You can try â wureset11008_setup_winx64.exeâ from here

Iâm not on the insider build. I tried resetting the store and that didnât work either.
I needed to uninstall and reinstall the whole game.
Unfortunately didnât help. I was able to update the Xbox Game Bar app update so I was able to run an app update prior, just not MSFS.
Sorry to hear that. Sometime the whole MS drives me crazyâŠ

I fixed this by resetting the app in the windows settings (settings, apps&features, search for Flight Simulator, advanced settings).
To be safe, I renamed the folder that I saved my MSFS content to while the reset occurred so that it would not make me redownload the game. This step cannot help you if you used the default location for install.
The reset made me redownload the app (1GB), but then everything updated and I had no issues. I renamed my content folder when the reset was complete and launched the game to complete the content update in game.
Save your folder next time so you dont have to redownload the whole thing!
Hi BTD29,
When you say you renamed the MSFS content folder am I correct in assuming you were asked if you wanted to rename as part of the reset option?
Or are you referring to the Community folder.
I have MSFS installed in itâs own SD drive and not the default C: location.
Ok Iâve managed to fix
When I pointed the installation to another disk it went through just fine so Iâm guessing there is something to do with âWindowsAppsâ folder that Windows Store creates to store the games. the solution for it I believe is shutdown Microsoft store and then delete this folder, then try to reinstall/update the game. please note this wonât delete your FS2020 folder and all game files, just the launcher.
As a precaution, I have renamed my FS2020 folder to FS2020_old - This will prevent me to download everything again
EDIT:
In case you have more games to Windows Store and you donât want to loose them, just simply open the folder and Delete âMicrosoft.FlightSimulator_XXXâ folders
Unfortunately Iâm not being given the option of a folder, when I click on Get Updates in the MS store the error message pops upâŠSubmitted to Zendesk.
Will try now.
