  1. Flight Simulator Fails to Load


    I've scanned and read similar issues, but can't find anything that solves my problem.


    When I start the app, I get the Xbox splash, the ASOBO splash, Checking for updates. Then the screen goes to black with a progress bar crawling at the bottom. It crawls for 15 to 20 minutes and then stalls. No progress. The Simulator never comes up. Eventually, I have to go into Task Manager to kill it. No error messages. I have no idea what's happening or what to do.


    I loaded the game in December and had to uninstall in January and reinstalled it. It ran a few times and got busy. I just got back to it this week and it won't run at all. I'm lost.


    Windows 10 Home, 64-bit


    GPU

    Radeon RX 580 Series

    VRAM 8192 MB GDDR5 2000 MHz


    CPU

    AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor

    RAM 16 GB


    Windows and GPU software is up to date as of today.


    Any help would be appreciated. I'm not a gamer. Just a former pilot who wants to do some desk top flying.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Flight Simulator issue after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hi Rahul,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



    I suggest you to completely uninstall Microsoft Flight Simulator and check.

    Refer the steps below to uninstall.

    • Press “Windows key + X”, select Control panel.
    • Open programs and features.
    • In the list of installed programs, select Microsoft Flight Simulator, and then click
      Remove.


    Note: If you have earlier versions of Flight Simulator in the list of installed programs, you will have to remove them in addition to Flight Simulator.



    Reinstall the Flight Simulator.
