Microsoft Flight Simulator is frozen at the blue bar...
Hey!
I'm reaching out for advice from a friend who's not very familiar with PCs:
He just bought the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam.
During the installation of the launcher onto his HDD in Steam, a disk write error happened.
Once the download finished, the next issue arose with the app itself:
After the "Checking for Updates" screen, a blue loading bar appears and remains stuck at the same position. (See screenshot)

I've tried several things so far using Teamviewer:
- Restart the PC
- Update drivers
- Reinstall the game
- Clear Steam download cache
- Install it on a different drive (SSD)
After these steps, the disk write error seems resolved:
- Reinstall the entire Steam library as well as Steam itself
Taskmanager shows that the Flight sim is "Not responding".
Also, pressing ALT + F4 doesn't help.
At this point, my PC skills are running low and I'm open to anyone's assistance.
Thanks in advance.
