I am writing on this Steam Forum as I find it easier to navigate then the Official MS Forum. I hope that this is the right section. So here is my problem.

Last week after playing FS2020 I shut down my Computer Windows 10 (Sleep). The next day when I restarted the machine I was greeted with this message.....Unable to start FS2020 as I had corrupted files and directories.

I then proceeded to run a "checkdisks and repair" which was successfully completed.

I also ran a few other checks to repair the Game.

Still not being able to start the game I proceeded to do an Uninstall via the Game App.

After this I noticed that there was only a small reduction in gigabites (2.8) on the C: Drive' I was expecting a reduction of about 150GB . So to me that indicated that the Game did not uninstall completely.

I then proceeded to reinstall the FS2020 Game from my Microsoft Game Library. It seemed that it started to download something for a while but when I pressed the "Play" I received this message.

C:ProgramFiles\WindowApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.39.9.0_x64_8weky...GameLaunchHelper.exe.

Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

So here I am..... and have no idea on how to proceed to get this game back??? so I would really appreciate some ideas and suggestions regarding this issue.

Regards......Herman

PS.....I do have the Steam Edition of FSX.
