August 11, 20241 yr I quit to desktop and sim ended (IMHO) normally. When I next tried to start the sim using Steam/Play to launch it I found that Steam said the sim was still running. Task Manager shows NO occurrence of the sim or any of it's support programs. No processes for the sim are running. I told Steam to STOP the sim. Steam then showed the Sim status to be STOPPING. No tasks or processes shown by Task Manager show the sim running. Shut down Steam and restarted it - still says MSFS is STOPPING. What to do?

August 12, 20241 yr That has been happening a lot lately for me also. Sometimes I have to restart Steam twice to get it going. I thought it was an addon problem, but now I see the problem just might be elsewhere. Be interesting to find out if lots more people are having the same issue.

August 12, 20241 yr most likely due to the steam cloud not syncing with your games https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/4939872515520194184/ https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/68D2-35AB-09A9-7678 I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

Might have been a coincidence but after I ran the verify files option in Steam the problem did not recur.

Why did this just start happening to me? I've never had the problem previously. OTH - the sim with frame gen is running very nicely - thank you!

August 13, 20241 yr 99/100 you do NOT need to restart your pc. You ONLY need to log off and on again. This will close all dead processes and refresh your desktop. A complete reboot is only needed when Windows itself has become unstable, not an errant application. Russell Gough SE London

I have worked the slow shut down using every tip I can find on the web - still is slow 99/100 you do NOT need to restart your pc. You ONLY need to log off and on again.

Or use task manager to terminate them or now that it is happening this often - use a batch file in DOS to terminate the offenders AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D / MSI X870 Tomahawk Mobo / 64 GB DDR5 memory / RTX 4070 Super with 12 GB VRAM / AORUS FO48U 4k display NVMe for Drive C, an NVMe device dedicated to Flight Sim 2024 and a separate NVMe device for Flight Sim 2020 and an NVMe dedicated to 500GB of addons managed by AddonsLinker / 1 GB Comcast Xfinity Internet connection / HP Reverb G2 / Tobii 5 Head & Eye Tracking
August 20, 20241 yr I was experiencing this also. For me at least, it turned out (or appeared to be) an older version of map enhancement causing the issue. After updating to the latest map enhancement, the issue no longer occurs. As with anything, your mileage will vary. NZXT H7 Flow PC Case. 6X Corsair LL140 RGB Fans.

August 20, 20241 yr You may also have supporting apps to MSFS that are preventing the sim from shutting down properly. Make sure to also shut down every app that connects to MSFS after closing the sim, like Navigraph, BeyondATC/SayIntentions, FSRealistic, and whatnot.
