  • Simply, press Windows + G keys on the keyboard.
  • Sign out from the Xbox account.
  • Then sign back into the Xbox account again.
  • Then go to the game installation folder and run the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 executable (exe) file directly as an administrator by right-clicking on it.
