There is no technical reason that would reason that it would matter when you stop extra tasks, but my PC seems to respond better if I close extra tasks After FSX is running.Has anyone else tried both before and after and received different results between the two?

This is a well known and well loved "tweak" to assist with MSFS, and indeed many other programs. In fact, flight simmer Ken Salter wrote a great utility known as AlacrityPC to help with the task.Take a look!

I think what he means is that he gets better results stopping services after FSX has booted up. Interesting and worth a look.

You are correct... It could be an anomaly, so I was wondering if any one else has seen the same!!
