FSX doesn't open on minimize window

Featured Replies

Hello

 

I am having this trouble since today. I always fly on window mode and I always minimize the FSX when I want to do other things, but today something got crazy on my FSX because I minimize the FSX window and I cannot open it again

 

Regards

A known bug.  You can try to use Alt+Tab a few times to try to bring the FSX Window back up but sometimes it won't happen.  I've been successful doing that a few times in the past but it is very difficult.  Best to just Alt+Enter to go from Full Screen to Windowed Mode, do your other things, then come back to the open Windowed Mode and continue your session.
