Hi All,

 

 

Recently a win 8.1 update stopped most things on my pc from working properly and caused FSX to run very slowly. I've fixed most of it by rolling back and undoing most of the damage, but while doing this, I noticed the following:

 

If I watch Task Manager when starting up FSX, the first three minutes are spent with FSX doing nothing and Task Manager reporting "Not Responding". After this delay FSX starts loading from the hard disk and eventually starts.

 

Does anyone know what this "Not Responding" delay is caused by, and if there is a way of eliminating it, or reducing it?

 

Thanks

Lots of possibilities, but try disabling the windows 8.1 error reporting system. 

1.   Open the Windows 8 search box: Win + Q

2.   Type: choose how to report problems

3.   Select: Never check for solutions (not recommended)

Thanks. I'll try that

Well that was fun. I changed the setting successfully, and rebooted. It made no difference at all.

 

Thanks anyway.
