During update times, the sim goes squirrely. Not just slow DL speeds but performance and stutters. All is perfect now. No problems at this hour and DL speeds in MSFS are back to normal. Nothing was broken the last day. Just clogged.

I hope ms2024 does not clog with so much stuff in the cloud.

I think it’s a random issue that affects a minority of users, but I do think it’s related to the update. In my case, the sim was fine (except the connection issues), but immediately after the update a lot of weird stuff happened. 

Indeed.

My word!  What have they done?  Are there any release notes for this update?  It was just supposed to be a World Hub and AIRAC update wasn't it?

I spent 6  hours so far today, replacing the One Store folder in MSFS with a backup that I had from last week. Emptied community folder, and installed one item at a time. When I got to the Fenix, the sound cutting out and sim freezing for a few seconds at a time returned. Removed the Fenix, put the PMDG 737 in the Community folder, and everything works perfectly. Seems this latest update has caused a conflict with the Fenix. I was thinking about doing a complete reinstall of MSFS, but the One store folder I replaced today, pretty much accomplishes the same thing. Of course as soon as I fired up MSFS, the mandatory update ran again, so back where I started.

Exactly - that's why these issues don't make sense at all. Shouldn't affect compatibility with 777 and Fenix.

Unless something is wrong with the One Store folder (which is probably unlikely). That happened to me earlier this year, but the symptom was an error message upon sim start - something about missing packages. I had to do a complete reinstall.

A World Update earlier in the year busted some apps in VR, so odd things can happen any of these updates regardless of what is actually being updated.

I havent updated yet , any news ?

Thanks Michael Moe

OK, I finally located the problem after working on this for two days. 

 

I uninstalled and reinstalled MSFS 2020.....No Help

I updated GPU drivers, and audio drivers    No Help

I reinstalled the PMDG, 777, and Fenix A 320     no help

I checked memory with a memory tester   32 GB was fine

 

Finally I put Task Manager up, and when the CPU would momentarily stop as well as the audio cut out, I noticed on the Task Manager that my AV, which I have used for over 7 years, Webroot,it's cpu usage jumped way up. This coincided with the symptoms I was having.  I uninstalled, Webroot, and the sim is running like a clock again.

What must have happened in the last update, something was inserted into MSFS, that Webroot objected to. Maybe some of the small airports, who knows. But anyway, it is fixed. 😁😏

 

In my humble opinion, products like Webroot today offer no additional protection over built-in Windows Defender and UAC. You'd be better off using a free DNS filter like OpenDNS to help avoid dodgy web sites.

Businesses are now using EDR/MDR agents like SentinelOne or the now famous CrowdStrike, but they are not aimed at retail purchase.
