How to unlink micrsoft xbox game pass account from steam
Hello everyone. I'm about to uninstall msfs permanently. I have a problem that I can't solve. I regret having installed the xbox gamepass, an invasive program that is causing me problems with starting msfs. The problem is that when I launch it from Steam I am forced to connect to the Xbox Live account where among other things I don't have the DLCs of the game I bought on Steam. How do I unlink this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ account and go back to using it on Steam. I uninstalled xbox game pass, but I have the same problem.

From the very first result when typed into google....

"You don't need a Game Pass subscription to play Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam, only the basic (and free) Xbox Live account. To use the Steam version of Microsoft Flight Simulator without an Xbox account is possible but with limited functionality"

Another bit of info from google....

You should remove all traces of the MS-Store bought version of the simulator before you do anything else. This ensures minimum “conflict.” You do not want any aspect of the old MS-Store version to be present.

Microsoft Store version - How to repair or remove and do a clean install of... 53
TIP If the issue with your installation appeared after moving the packages to a different folder, update the UserCfg.opt file instead of doing a clean install. See instructions: Can I choose ...

When you purchase the Game in Steam, you will install it as normal on your PC. It will require a few files from Steam, including the MS Installer to be downloaded again. Then the MS Installer will take over and it will look just like the first time you installed the MS-Store bought version.

Once you launch the Steam Store bought version for the first time and use an XBox for Windows (which is a Microsoft User Account) account to log into the Sim, MS and Steam will cross-connect your Steam Account and your XBox account for future logins. That XBox account should be your NEW account that you created, not the one that was hacked/compromised.

You need to make sure your Steam Overlay is enabled because some activities that happen in the sim require cross-connection to work - for example, buying content from the sim Marketplace - which launches your Steam Wallet window in an overlay when you click Buy.
