Once uninstalled, check to make sure all files are deleted. If you have game files in a different directory than where the app is installed by default (C: drive) uninstalling the game will not delete those files.
Search for anything under ‘Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe’ or ‘MicrosoftFlightSimulator’ and ensure all files are deleted.
Once the previous steps are done, you can reinstall Microsoft Flight Simulator. Make sure to follow the Download & Installation guides https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015760620-Download-Installation-guides
If the issue persists, please contact support via Zendesk and send us your DxDiag and Msinfo.
To create Dxdiag, simply follow these steps:
1. In Windows, select Start and enter “dxdiag” into the search box on the taskbar. Select dxdiag from the results.
2. In the tool, click on ‘Save All Information’ and wait a few seconds
3. Save the file as a ‘Text File (*.txt)’ on your desktop
4. Attach the file to your response.
To provide a Microsoft System Information MSINFO32, do the following steps below:
1. Press Windows + R keys to open the Run command window
2. Type msinfo32 in the dialogue box and click OK or press Enter.
3. This will open the System Information, click File and select Export
4. Name your file as “msinfo32.txt” and make sure it is saved as a text file (.txt).
5. Save the file to your Desktop.
Once these files we’ll be received by our team, we’ll investigate further.
As a reminder, here are the Patch Notes released last week.
