  1. Try attempting the download process multiple times whenever the update download gets stuck for some reason. To do that, just restart your computer or console and then retry the downloading process. That should help.
  2. Meanwhile, it can also possible that your Windows or Xbox One firmware version is outdated and should be updated to the latest patch to run the game properly. Sometimes, Windows security patch updates can also ruin the game files for some reason which can be fixed by uninstalling the recently installed updates manually from the ‘Windows Updates’ option.
  3. Whereas some of the players have mentioned that the ‘Netlimiter’ application can fix the download stuck related issues. Just download the Netlimiter app and install it on your PC to limit the Microsoft Flight Simulator to an unstable connection.
  4. Maybe the problem is appearing from your internet connection. If you’re running a wireless connection (Wi-Fi) then make sure to try using a wired network (ethernet cable) for a stable and faster connection.
  5. Try running the Microsoft Flight Simulator executable file as an administrator to run all the files properly.
  6. Ensure that Windows Defender Firewall or any third-party antivirus program isn’t blocking the game files to connect to the server. Either you can disable the security programs or try adding the installed Microsoft Flight Simulator game folder as an exclusion.
  7. Try clearing unnecessary background running tasks on the PC that should help a lot. Head over to the Task Manager and close the higher CPU/Memory consuming tasks one by one from the ‘Processes’ section.
