windows update and : error creating child window ...P3Dv3 ?

Recommended Posts

Today i ran windows update. Right after rebooting and starting the sim  I got the "error creating child window" error

 

Not sure what is going on .I ran a search but I'm not any wiser. Is  any any update causing this that you know of ?

 

All info/help/tips appreciated

This appears to be an issue if you are on the Windows Insider Fast Ring and getting the new Redstone 3 builds which as of right now is Build 16188. From what I have been able to determine, the problem looks like it is caused by Microsoft's introduction of the new OneCore architecture. I will admit that most of this is conjecture based on the research I have done to try to resolve the issue. What is frustrating is that every once in a while P3D runs normally. But, more often than not, it doesn't. I have tried disabling all addons and then enabling them one at a time but the results of those tests were inconsistent. I wish I could find out what child window was trying to be opened but, so far, no luck.

For what it's worth, I don't run with a lot of addons. I run:

VRS Superbug with TacPack aircraft of choice
MegaSceneryEarth and Bluesky photoreal scenery
ActiveSky 2016 weather
Ultimate Traffic Live
FSUIPC (registered version)

Not top of the line, but no slouch, either.

That's what I get for responding to a post I found with Google without looking at the original posting date.

My apologies for replying to an old topic.
