This procedure failed to fix the problem for me.

This worked for me mate - windows 10 pro.

I have Windows 10 Home. Gaming service update caused the problem for me and many others a couple of days ago!

Have you seen this closed thread?

Read carefully please :wink:

Important is screenshot no. 1 :wink:

I have screenshot no. 1!
I followed all steps of the process.

The popup appears at the msfs sign in screen and again when msfs is loading.

Maybe it would be useful if you could explain in more detail why this is necessary. For me (and others) it started after the gaming services update.

Same thing happened to me – lost every one of my control settings, accessibility settings all reset, everything. Completely annoyed.

Find the differences between the two pictures!

I do NOT have the “Lets get you signed in” popup, I get the Welcome back popup. In my previous post, I was referring to the msfs intial loading screen that has the message "Signing in! in the bottom right hand corner.

I see that the gaming services version is different but Windows store says I’m up to date.

I would prefer more detail if possible. Thanks for you help, it is appreciated.

reinstall gaming services via powershell

I did. But Windows Store automatically updated it afterwards!!!

Feel free to DM me.

Solved here
The command:
Remove-Item -Path “HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet” -Recurse
Not did the task, but finally solved, Win10Home

Many thanks TenPatrol!

How did you solve it? Did you use regedit?

As TenPatrol instructions above, using powershell
