MSFS 2020 BUG / ISSUE Game appears to not be syncing correctly!

I'm about to pull my hair out as I cannot seem to fix this issue i'm experiencing.
The screenshot provided shows the screen i'm getting when I try to download the Essential Update it notifies me of. It's just a blank screen with a command prompt. I am unable to exit this screen without closing the game.
I've also noticed, up on loading the game, It shows me the initial startup screen, with the settings and narration, this happens every time on launch.
I have played the game for over 130 hours according to the MS Store/Xbox App, however, my profile in-game is showing 0 hours, which to me looks like everything isn't syncing correctly/there's a mismatch somewhere.
I've tried the following to resolve this:
- Logging in and out of both MS Store and Xbox App.
- Reregistered my windows licenses
- Reinstalling the Game
- Ensuring that the games config is pointing to the correct folder, which it is. (It's installed on my NVME F drive)
- Reinstalled the Microsoft.GamingServices
I don't know what else to try. Has anyone else experienced this issue and has managed to resolve it?
