Resolving Endless Update Loop Issue in MSFS

Hello fellow simmer,

It sounds like you're facing an issue that some MSFS users experience: the simulator gets stuck in an endless update loop. Here's a comprehensive solution to your problem:

1. Clear Temporary Files:

Firstly, Windows tends to accumulate temporary files over time which can interfere with applications like MSFS. Navigate to your Windows temporary folder (typically C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Temp) and clear out the old files.
2. Check Internet Connection:

A fluctuating or weak internet connection can prevent the update process. Ensure your connection is stable and no other devices or software are using up your bandwidth.
3. Adjust Firewall and Antivirus Settings:

Ensure MSFS has been added as an exception in both your firewall and antivirus. Sometimes, security software might block the update process.
4. Reset the MSFS Data:

Head over to MSFS's installation folder and either delete or rename the Content.xml file. This will force the simulator to recheck its content when it starts next. Always keep a backup before altering any file.
5. Windows Store Reset (For Windows Store Users):

If you got MSFS through the Windows Store, reset the store. Open command prompt as administrator and input wsreset.exe. After completion, reboot your computer.
6. Re-install MSFS:

If the aforementioned solutions don’t work, consider reinstalling MSFS. A fresh install can resolve a multitude of hidden issues.
Lastly, you mentioned deleting a scenery add-on. Ensure to check the integrity of other add-ons. Outdated or incompatible ones might disrupt the simulator's functioning.
