I totally hosed my computer while trying to move to a new ssd. I know, stupid mistake. Then I couldn’t reinstall anything so I had to get a professional to reinstall windows. In the process, my user name was changed. I reinstalled some of the MSFS before getting stuck in the decompressing loop. Should I change my user name back to what it was before and how do I do that?
I just realized there is no users/mynewuser name/AppData folder.
I am having to reinstall after a computer mishap (self imposed). The reinstall seems to proceed as normal on startup it wants to install all again. I can see the installation path in the usercfg file. Is there a way to see the entire installation path on the startup screen to see if they match? BTW, the files seem to be installed where they should be.
The part of the installation path that’s visible on the installation page seems correct.
I have continually downloaded the sim. It seems to download ok and the files are in
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore
But it still won’t open and continues to ask for more updating.
My MS user name and my MS Store user name are the same. Does the NonStopOysterO name used here and on MSFS have to be the same as the user name on Xbox?
I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
This turned out to be a Windows problem. When I ran sfc scannow it fixed some errors but reported some were not repaired. I then ran DISM to repair the image and reran scannow which reported all errors were fixed. I also had a loose GPU which was reseated in the slots. Then MSFS loaded as expected.
