I recently did a factory reset because WIN 10 creators update broke everything.

Now FSX cashes to desktop.

I have moved the fsx.cfg to a temporary folder and ran FSX but it crashed again..

What to do?

This is a Microsoft.net error telling you there's something wrong with your computer system as the system uiautomationcore.dll crashed.  Not good.

Did you put the correct version of the uiautomationcore.dll in your main FSX folder?  Page 28, AVSIM CTD Guide, states you need version 16386 in your main FSX (boxed) folder if you are running Windows 10.  FSX-SE has a version already installed by Dovetail.  The guide also has a link to the version which I'll place here - http://www.search-dll.com/dll-files/download/uiautomationcore.dll.html

I got crashes 100% of the time without this version of the uiautomationcore.dll in my main FSX folder.  Reason why I placed the information in the AVSIM Guide (see link to the guide in my signature).

Best regards,

Jim
