January 24, 20224 yr I can confirm what @DeepestRed says. on mine, I have just checked. Opening my MSFS shortcut icon on my desktop by right clicking, then 'properties', will show a box called 'Target:'. Mine contains... C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -FastLaunch Your path may be different, but it is the '-FastLaunch' that is the important bit. This can just be added after a space. End result, no start up videos, no problems. You will seem to get a long pause before a black screen kicks in for a while, so don't think it has crashed, give it a few seconds.

If you do not like the long pause, the FSUIPC app has a nice MSFS startup screen that at least gives you feedback that something is happening.. Bert

Thanks Bert. I haven't looked at that app for a very, very long time, maybe since FSX. I must take another look at it. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

January 5, 20233 yr I may have found a simple workaround to prevent MSFS from showing the Xbox controller with controls mapping! You know, this screen appears when you have selected aircraft, airport(s) and weather and press Fly. When you stop flying, it appears again. Some may find this (very) annoying. I have noticed that after my fix MSFS starts up and shuts down somewhat quicker, so that also is a bonus! Here is the batch file code: @echo off rem Remove Xbox graphic from startup screen rem Run this BEFORE starting MSFS 2020! rem Set MyMSFSPath equal to your MSFS 2020 install path (do not use quotes): set MyMSFSPath=F:\MSFS2020 set MinPath=%MyMSFSPath%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content\Packages\fs-base-ui\components\LoadingMappingMinimal if exist "%MinPath%\LoadingMappingMinimal.uxml-orig" goto theEnd ren "%MinPath%\LoadingMappingMinimal.uxml" "LoadingMappingMinimal.uxml-orig" :theEnd set MyMSFSPath= set MinPath= Insert this code in an empty file and save it as for example "Remove Xbox graphic from startup screen.bat". OR, insert this code (without the first line) in a batch file you already use to start MSFS. In any case, run the code BEFORE starting MSFS. Be sure to set MyMSFSPath equal to the full path of YOUR MSFS installation! What this code does: in a map LoadingMappingMinimal there is a file LoadingMappingMinimal.uxml that describes all the controls of the Xbox controller. When this file can not be found by MSFS, it doesn't show the Xbox banner overlaid on a beautiful background image! We do not delete the file, we just give it another extension, so that it doesn't "exist" anymore for MSFS. Let me know if this works on your installation. Edited January 5, 20233 yr by hugojans
