Update stuck at 100% ?
Anyone else having this problem? I saw many negative reviews pop up with the same problem but no one seems to have a fix.

It seems like one of those files got corrupted and then the decompression just sat there spinning. I haven't ever had download issues before this, but have heard people as to delete the last couple files being downloaded. I don't know if you need to delete all of the fspatch and fspackage files, but it is worth at least deleting the one that it is spinning on.

I just assumed it was unpacking everything. Mine is stuck at 100% but it's decompressing something different than you. Mine is decompressing an airport.

Stuck at 100% decompressing 'fs-base-genericairports-0.1.48.fspackage'. Tells me 242.82/242.82MB.

Program is responsive to mouse interaction. Can click the button to PAUSE or RESUME and it responds.

CPU usage hovers around 12%, RAM at 1,836MB, 0% Disk and 0% Network.

Quitting and restarting MSFS duplicates the same issue at the same point with the same file.

First time anything like this has happened and MSFS2020 was fine yesterday,

I walked away from mine at about 3:30 PM yesterday. When I got home at 9:15 it was STILL going. Finally, this morning it was finished. Good heavens, what kind of update takes that many hours? The main install didn't take that long!

Stuck decompressing?? Try the following -

Quit Flightsim (May need to force quit)
Go to (installation folder)Official\OneStore and scroll to the bottom of the window, there are lots of folders in there but you will see the *.fspackage files that are ‘stuck decompressing’ there. Delete those.
Run MSFS, it will re-download the package(s) again and should decompress all way through… Perhaps until the next package that might get stuck… Then repeat the steps again

Thank you this fixed it!
Type %appdata% in bottom left search bar of windows
This will bring up Appdata Folder
Go to Appdata-Roaming-Microsoft Flight Sim-Packages-Official-Steam
Then when in steam folder scroll to the very bottom
delete all loose fspackage files that are not in folders at the bottom
Then launch MSFS again and it should download them all correctly.
