Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and CTD

Featured Replies

Hello

Yesterday the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update was released. As we all know, the September Patchday for Windows 10 Creators Update pretty much broke the Sim under certain circumstances.

Has anyone already updated to the Fall Creators Update and can share if the CTD still occurs?

Thanks.

I would imagine everyone on Win 10 has it by now, you can't stop it updating. I did, however, block the module that was causing the problem with P3D v3, other than that I have had no problems at all.

Yes you can - if you have Win 10 Pro. I have disabled the Windows Update service and all is well.

True, but many average users plumped for the "HOME" version which precludes this option. However if you own the Pro version here is how to do it:-

Same here. Nothing is broke, so why do I need Microsoft to impose itself on my system?

I took the risk and installed the update..I like taking these risks for a reason I don't know : P   Nevermind, I did a small circuit on the NGX, everything seems fine here on P3D v4.1 so far.

I upgraded my gaming laptop which has P3D v3, and my gaming desktop which has P3D v4.1. Can confirm v3 is still broken (CTD), but v4.1 has no issues after the upgrade (Windows 10 Home Edition). Tried out all my PMDG models (737, 747 & 777). No problems..Regards.

Well as that may be that they can, but I have control of my system, not them! I can either opt to let them play havoc, or just block them. So, their 'can'  is totally immaterial.

Installed yesterday and flown the NGX without a problem.

Afterwards I installed and loaded FSL but did not test-fly her yet.

Seems to work well on my end.

Updated 2 PCs to 1709, fall creators update. One PC had Prepar3D v4.1 installed with add-one. The other PC I installed a fresh copy of Prepar3D v4.1 for VR testing after updating to 1709. Prepar3D is running smoothly on both.
