Startup screen freezes, how to solve?

Featured Replies

Dear all!

I’m writing you regarding a problem i’m experiencing with my Flight sim 2020 since the last weekly update which has been done.

I don’t really know whether this topic fits in this forum as I’m quite new here.

However, the issue i’ve encountered: when FS2020 starts and loads through ‘checking for new updates’ until the screen with USA popup pictures where the blue bar loads below, the screen eventually freezes when the blue bar reaches the end, to remain loading endlessly.

I’ve tried everything, installing new video drivers and Windows drivers, disabling the firewall, starting ik Admin mode, uninstalling and reinstalling Flight sim, but nothing resolves the problem.

Is there anyone who could help me? :)

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards!

Hi Robin and welcome. We need more info

What kind of system and specs?

Steam or MS Store install?

Any entries in event viewer?

Did you remove everything from your Community folder?

Hi vgbaron!

I’m running the Steam version on following specs:

16 GB RAM

How can i see the event viewer?

I did remove everything manually from the community folder, after the uninstall from the Steam program.

kind regards, Robin

Well, actually, the sim started to freeze, and it was afterwards that i updated the video driver. So it was probably not the cause.

Right click the This PC icon and select Manage - on the left is event viewer - open it and select Windows Logs - look in application and System - check out and red or yellow events. Look at the times - if any say Flight Simulator see if there is any info there

Remove EVERYTHING from your Community folder, restart Windows and try again.
