Microsoft Flight Simulator downloads stuck/loop

Microsoft Flight Simulator downloads stuck/loop - Futuristic interior of spaceship simulator for test flight mission

I'm trying to run MS Flight Simulator in steam and while it is trying to install updates the downloads keep restarting. It will get through a few hundred MB or so and then reset back to the start of that stage. I've left it running for days but it just keeps happening.



Best Answer

Not sure exactly why, but running this command:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable

in a command console fixed it for me.
