I really do not want to click any additional button during the launch of the sim. As before, we skipped intros, videos, music, etc. to shorten the time of launch. Now this "Safe Mod" check is not for me. I know many simmers think like that, as well.

Generally I quit the sim by closing the window which was easy and fast for me. (Never close the sim originally via Main Menu > Quit to Desktop.)  And now, my old way of closing the sim seems to be an error or CTD to the MSFS and shows up the "Safe Mod" warning on every start.

Safe Mod warning is good but somehow, we would like it, to be ignored or it can be shown for a few seconds or so, and continue with Normal Mod, if Safe is not clicked. Or can be an option in the settings that we can enable or disable. I do not know how t can be for the best usage but I would be more than happy if a solution can be found.

What do you think ? Maybe a voting can be launched for this later.  Thanks.

If people are back to now complaining about "click to continue" I think Asobo are in a decent spot to be honest. Please close the sim using the appropriate way provided. Or expect to see the error state.

I really don't think this is too much to ask.

Alternatively people are sick and tired of complaining about all the pre-existing problems that never seem to be address + all the new ones from SU5 that need resolving and being ignorred by MS/Asobo.

Just because we can close certain program with the x doesnt always mean its the right way. Like the poster ho you quoted said, the sim has to do its tidying up and there are virtual drives that the sim creates which has to be shut down also

It is a fact that, many times, helping hands - in good faith - also tend to jump to conclusion and point the user to what they honestly believe is the right way of doing things... even though that may not be the issue.

However, in this very case this is clearly a bug even though you close the sim the right way (i.e. quit to desktop), you may be confronted with this message over and over again when starting MSFS, for no reason. I had this too, never used the "safe mode" and completed all my flights with no issue. The solution offered above by another user to go to "DEV mode" > "save the settings", and "quit to desktop" is the solution out of this situation.

End of story and unpleasant remarks.

Yep, I suspect it is because some of us have been shutting down the window rather than the program.  I will try to get back into the habit of shutting the sim down properly and see if that fixes the issue.

LOL it's like turning off the PC from the PSU switch and complaining because Windows restarts with the troubleshooting menu.

I close the sim from the main menu and NEVER see the safe mode button.

At least we don't have to start the X Box App to exit the game. 😉

Never seen it, as I close the sim in the way you should, 4 pagers of...........🙄

you sound very emotional. That solution offered is in the release notes fyi. If the sim is closed the right way you wont get that safe mode popup at the next start. I've had 2 ctd and both times I saw the popup and I havent seen it since

Here is a suggestion:

Instead of arguing amongst yourselves, spend the time writing a suggestion to Asobo that they modify the simulator so that clicking on the X prompts the question, do you want to close the simulator, as FSX and P3D do. This would prevent the immediate closure that presently takes place and presumably satisfy those who believe that it should never be closed in that way.
For the record, it makes no difference which way I close it or that I have applied the fix, the message persists.
It really is not a problem.

Honestly it is. I dont know any other game that takes up so much time to start than MSFS. You can easily go and do something useful in the meantime. Pausing the extralong startup for this (in most cases) useless message is just annoying.

I literally am exiting the game in the forum-defined 'proper' way. But I'm getting the message in question on start-up, regardless. It's only started happening with the latest update, never once before. There's something strange going on somewhere. Whether that's Asobo's fault or one of my add-ons (they're only scenery-related), I don't know yet.

I'm locking this. 4 pages of bandying around about best way to exit a program and no new suggestions.

Asobo has a "proper" way to close the program. There are also alternatives. Use the designated method or accept the consequences.  Seems simple to me.

Old joke - "Told my Doctor, it hurts when I do this" - Doctor said 'Don't do that".
