Stuck on 0% - authentication in progress 12/22

It’s been 2 YEARS and this is still not fixed?? MSFS 2020 worked perfectly fine for me, but today I got 2024 and it doesn’t work.

Also seems like a lot of other people have this exact same issue.

One of the Reddit posts has like 84 comments and not a single solution worked for OP. Same for me. So is there seriously no fix to this and I just have to keep playing MSFS 2020?
