Starting the sim from Steam does not." Same here, I still launch the sim from a Desktop icon setup from within the Steam app. Under "LIBRARY" I Right Clicked the MSFS Game icon ">Manage>Add desktop shortcut". You don't have to open the Steam app after that. I confirm this works as well.

August 19, 20232 yr When I start from a shortcut for the Fs2020 exe, I ALWAYS get the safe mode prompt. When I go to steam and start from there, it never happens.

I hear ya. I just put it down to "...part of my the Startup procedure". I don't even worry about it any more. Minor glitch to me, besides, the music pumps me up for my next advebture 😉.

August 19, 20232 yr I have Steam version, and if I try to start from from a Fs2020.exe shortcut it will start trough Steam client anyway so there are no difference, and I only get the safe mode prompt if the game had crash, just as it should.

Steam as well..I can live with the shortcut problem. i913900KF (5.8GHz) | Case: Fractal PopAir RGB I Gigabyte Z790 UD AX| MSI Gaming RTX 4070Ti Super 16GB | Kingston Fury Beast 64GB DDR5 5200Mhz | SOLIDIGM P41 Plus 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD | Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB | Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 MM Liquid Cooling | LG EVO 42" Monitor 3840 x 2160 120Hz | Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo | Logitech G Pro pedals | Tobii EyeTracker | 850W Thermaltake 80+ GOLD |
August 19, 20232 yr This may be exclusively a Steam problem. To get a desktop shortcut to the store version of MSFS20, just open the XBox app, click on Microsoft Flight Simulator in the Most Recent list, and then select the three dot square next to the PLAY button. That will open a drop down menu that offers "Manage" as an option. From there you get to a floating window that lets you CREATE DESKTOP SHORTCUT. Do it! The resulting shortcut opens MSFS20 normally unless it has undergone a CTD or similar non-standard fate, in which case you should be offered a safe mode option.

August 19, 20232 yr Going to the library/manage and add desktop shortcut works perfectly. Thank you for that. I had it once before and was trying to re-create it and always got all the steam advertisments, etc. Much appreciated Doug
