May 25, 20206 yr I guess some of you guys have experienced this. It happens mainly when I start P3D 4 but occurs with other apps , FSX steam seems to work OK . The history of the problem started with me running PMDG Operations center 2, which said there was an update. When I tried to install the update, it wiped out Operations Center 2, and when I tried to find it I messed up some files. I was able to do a restore to 2 days back and most things work partially. The desktop is screwed up partially. I am pretty computer literate but don"t want to get expensive help if I can fix it myself. Any help appreciated Ron Service Ron Service .
June 1, 20206 yr If your desktop is boogered-up, you clearly have issues that go beyond just the sim. If you keep backups, restoring a full backup made with a working configuration would be the least troublesome way to get back in operation. I do a full system backup every month or so, and I keep a log of product installs and config changes so that I know what's been changed since the last backup. It's saved me from a full rebuild many times.

June 3, 20206 yr Author Thanks for your reply Bob. After further attempts at trouble shooting, I've found that Microsoft.net framework is also screwed up and also Java. I could not repair either of them with the relevant software. Also, with Windows 10, .net framework cannot be uninstalled. I ended up calling in Geek squad. They worked on it for about six hours. and ended up reinstalling Windows 10 . i.e. option retaining files. That did not fix it. I may have no alternative but to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 including all files, which of course means reinstalling all apps. I guess I should do as you do and in the future as following good housekeeping, do a system backup each month. What would you recommend I do in the way of backing up my apps if possible. I have lots of PMDG apps P3Dv4 and many other flight simulator apps , also a couple of external drives. Any help appreciated Ron Service Ron Service .
