MSFS Won't Launch!

[falcon409]

This is weird, yesterday it worked fine, flew last night as well. . .everything was fine. Today, it only gets to where it says "launching" and disappears. I've done some searching online and tried various "fixes", none of which had any affect. Anyone else run into this?

Pull up the Xbox Gamebar and sign out of your account there. When you relaunch the sim, you should be prompted to sign back in and the app should launch.

Tried that as well as shutting down the system and rebooting. I finally uninstalled it (twice) before it quit giving me errors while unpacking. Now I got it to start but it's "updating Standard Content" which it did 2 days ago and took about 4 hours on high speed internet, lol

Always do a "shutdown /s" from the command line prompt when windows starts having these kinds of fits.

Do you have any Windows updates needed? It wouldn't launch for me a few weeks ago, had to update windows and that fixed it.

Is there a repair option in the xbox toolbar? I seem to remember having to do that once to fix an issue.

shutdown /s /t 0 avoids that 5 second countdown.

Fun fact, if you're on a company domain network and have admin rights, you can use that command on someone else's computer!
