• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Anyone else having problems starting up MSFS tonight (July 1st)? I was running it earlier today with no problems, now it won't run and Windows 10 pops up with the Gaming Services page in the Windows Store. I'll tell ya, I prefer the old fashioned way of running programs.Wont start.jpg

Mine is from Steam. I did have problems with it pausing/stopping during boot. But I think my situation has to do with add-ons. I use Add-on Linker, so I easily choose what add-ons I want to be active. Pete
 
It's a PITA, but there are a couple of solutions here:

Thanks Tom - I found a video that did the trick. I'm happy I have a fast computer and high speed connection, as the install went relatively fast. Windows can be so frustrating and baffling at times. I sure am happy there are so many smart people out there who have figured these weird types of errors out.

Here's the video link:
