MSFS won't start...

[DaveKDEN]

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.

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

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.
