Unable to Start FS2020

Featured Replies

Haven't even downloaded SU5 yet. I try running FS2020 from my start menu, get a window briefly, then it disappears. Then nothing. Microsoft Flight Simulator shows up in task manager.... but no application to be seen. Anybody had this issue?

Are you running Process Lasso? If so, shut it down.

it does take what seems like forever on my system for ANYTHING to happen after I double click the icon - how long have you left it?

Okay, it appears the program didn't like something running in my msconfig --> services. I hid all microsoft services and then clicked disable all on the remaining services. Flight simulator then started normally.
