While I was staying up late downloading the SU6 in the middle of the night, I received an email from John H. Helms saying that he couldn’t get his MSFS (Store version) updated to SU6.

He said the Sim notified him there was an update and took him to the Store.  But there was no update option at all.

He tried resetting the MS Store and logging off the Store, rebooting computer, and logging on again.  Neither worked.   He added that all previous updates worked without any problem.

While he was a bit confused about it all, he thought he did the followings to get the update eventually:

I launched the Xbox App on my desktop to see if it recognized my Sim.  It did. Then I accessed the Store through the XBox app.   I went to “Games” and highlighted MSFS to bring up MSFS.

I’m not sure if the update just started, or if I asked for MSFS to be installed.  All of a sudden, the update started, installed after a while, and then the Sim launched and ran perfectly.

I have found that after each big update, it is necessary (for me) to go to the “Content Manager” and do further updating there…humm…wonder why that is?

Anyway, Microsoft always makes it interesting.

Hope John’s experience helps those who is encountering similar update issue.
