Who is now somewhat 'sensitive'?   LOL.  Let's just end this...fly...shake hands...enjoy a beer...and let the user either run or not run any of the above.  How does that sound?  

BTW, Psolk I would never ignore you...I have ignored nobody...  Cheers!

You know what, perhaps you are right.  I have wholeheartedly hijacked this thread so I apologize. 

Time for some self induced time off.  Enjoy your flights.  Apologies if I came across as personally attacking you.  Sincerely

Accepted...and a back slap back. Enjoy the day, and the future flight...peace brother!

The 'sfc /scannow' is certainly useful, and I was shocked when it replaced a single 'corrupted' file a few months ago after an MSFS CTD.  I also ran 'chkdsk /scan' (it did it on next start up) and luckily it found nothing.

The problem I have (not directly related to MSFS but other apps) turns out to be a permission issue that I am having problems solving.  They can be a nightmare. 
It relates to the Windows/Temp folder and some programs freezing when they can't write to it due to not having permissions.  This did start after the CTD mentioned above and blue screen with MSFS after the original SU5 (luckily not having them now with the hotfixes etc.).

I am hoping the W11 upgrade (when I am scheduled) might solve it, but probably not as it retains all user permissions, so a fresh install might be the way (I don't relish that!). 
 

I too have noticed from dumpfiles (after MSFS freezes) that there are mentions of permissions 'denied' that have lead to a crash.  How one deals with that is a very good question.  It is nearly a month now that I have been unable to launch a single flight!

What I have mostly found, or (suspect) is that during either start up or shut down of W(blah blah)  a main's line spike or brown out drop will corrupt a file (just my usage feeling on that...) and I have found that by using the sfc /scannow command monthly, it is found on any given month/year. that system files were indeed corrupt. One, two five...whatever, and immediately repaired them  In using the DISM commands as I sequence, it only allows W10 to report to me, in English, that there WAS a problem that now is fixed...or that there WAS NO problem found...and all is good. No further actions need be taken.  This...Bob...is a good thing...knowledge is power, and enablement.  Ignorance is never bliss, in my world...lol.  Cheers.

Again running any of the Command Window lines, will NOT harm or compromise your system. If ANYTHING it will notify you and attempt to repair, mostly always doing so.  I'll let the reader follow their own 'what sound's good, or not'.  Cheers!

Yes.  It only started in the summer after a bad MSFS crash.  It is frustrating, and some other titles CTD now with this error after a few seconds even (not MSFS strangely).

I have tried wading through the many layers of permissions to put it right, and even set a Windows/Temp2 folder as the new 'Temp' in Windows environmental variables, but still no good. 

Someone has suggested I make a new Admin profile in windows, then copy settings and other stuff across from my old User folder - I have the procedure to do it, but I might need a stiff drink before trying that!

Indeed - it's all going a bit far for my liking - and could end up creating more problems than it solves:-)

Just have a few stiff drinks and you will not care about CTD's, works wonders 🙂

 

If you regularly run into file corruption that straight up hampers your PC's performance to a point where you need to run those procedures regularly, you have other issues to worry about. That's not normal at all.
