Windows Update KB4038788 causing FSX crashes

[VeryBumpy 272]

Just a heads up if you happen to come across unexplained fsx.exe crashes as of recent, it might be due to this Win10 update.

It is definitely causes issue with the Concorde X, so it is conceivable that our sim could be affected with other aircraft or addons also. This is a straightup, immediate crash once the plane almost or just finishes loading.

There is a thread about it here:

https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/13725-notice-on-win10-kb4038788/

 

That thread also mentions P3D issues also:

Yes, 

This is being discussed in the P3D forum here and also in the PMDG forum.

It would be useful if posters checked the Windows error log and put more crash information in their posts.

Not a generalized problem, for some reason some were not affected.

Reading around, I would say that it's more accurate to say that the majority were not affected.

Read the thread again on LM's site. This is not an isolated issue. It is affecting P3Dv3 users quite a bit.

I read it again. There are less than 30 individuals on that forum with problems. Whilst I sympathise with those who are affected, it seems clear that the majority are not having problems. If it was widespread, I'm sure that the P3D forum here would be full of complaints.

true  but  most of those  not  effected  are  probably  not  on  win10  os  systems

The overall number is really irrelevant. Keep scrolling down and you'll find other posts directed to that thread from others. It also doesn't include those who may not have updated nor started P3D since the update was pushed, which OS ones running etc... And that is only LM site. It's clear there is an issue with the recent MS update given once removed the issue disappears.

LM has said they were working with them for a fix. These things are bound to happen with any OS overtime as the OS is updated.
