Hello, i've been having this weird issue that when i try to open for example MSFS 2020 instead of launching the game it just opens microsoft store with gaming services opened, i have tried deleting it through powershell and reinstalling it but nothing helped so far. I don't know what to at this point.

    Yes, technically the process will take an hour or more to complete if you can switch to a better internet connection that would be the best.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Note: Before doing this make sure to create a restore point: https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/402753...

    1. go to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...
    2. Select the Download tool, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, it should fix the issue.

    Reference: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Let me know how does it go and I hope that helps.

    Hello, I have followed every single step you mentioned here but unfortunately nothing was able to fix the problem. Every single time i try to launch the game the problem continues.
