    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

I restart my computer with a windows update, I want to start MSFS and I get this:

not good, I think, now what? Anybody got any suggestions? Uninstall and install again?
 
after some digging, found this:
Open Registry Editor Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM → CurrentControlSet → Services
Remove the GamingServices and GamingServices.Net
Restart Computer
Go to your Windows Store → 3-dot-menu → Downloads and Updates → Check updates
Gaming Services should install now without issue.
Double check by rebooting and going back to Windows Store and trying to Get Updates again - you should be Up to date.

which did the trick, with a bit of patience in the above screen...phfew!
 
Glad you got it sorted! Thanks for sharing the solution in case any of use end up hitting the issue.
 
You can also get knocked off the XBox servers with an upgrade. It's happened to me several times. Just reboot the server and off you go again. Damned annoying.:engel016:
 
Unbelievable. I faced the exact same issue this past weekend and managed to mess up my MSFS install. Thanks to the gents at Jetline Systems for walking me through corrective actions-- to include a fresh install of MSFS 2020 (which would not have been necessary had I not tried to "fix" it myself)!

Unfortunately for me, doing what jankees suggested totally messed up MSFS. I saw the same post last week and tried it and MSFS woundnt even start . Had to reinstall MSFS , total time consumer . It works for some and not for others . I figured I would try it cause the sim wasn’t running , ctd multiple times etc . It works well now . And I’m afraid to update MSFS down the road for anything because will it / won’t it mess up everything again ? Lol
