August 31, 20241 yr Hello to all! So I yesterday I started a flight. No problem whatsoever, and all went fine. After the flight, I noted that Win 11 needed to update before closing, and it did. Today, the PC works fine, but can't start MSFS. Steam starts, and then, MSFS, because I can see on the Task maneger that it stars for some seconds, and then, nothing. Maybe the Win Update broke something? As always, I already tried to look on the Avsim forum, and maybe may bad, but didn't find the solution. Already checked the Steam check files, and no problem, the Antivirus and Firewall have the exclusion, but its like if they shut it down (or it seems like). Maybe someone who had or has this problem can give me a clue? Thank’s in advance
August 31, 20241 yr That happened to me and I ended up going into windows developer mode and downloaded the 24 half year 2 preview version. The sound was a bit chippy though, so I reinstalled my chipset and sound drivers and all is running perfectly now. You can come out of windows developer at any time if you have isses.

August 31, 20241 yr Author "So, I´m on Steam, so Beta option? It request a code. How can I obtain that code?" Sorry, you mean Windows Developer Mode, and I thought on MSFS ... Edited August 31, 20241 yr by Henrique Santos Did not understand correctly.
August 31, 20241 yr Sorry Henrique, I should have mentioned that I use the store version rather than steam. I was getting the warning that msfs would not work with this version of windows.

It might be you have an incompatible Xbox Gaming Services app for the version of Windows you’re now on. Restart and try again. Eric

If you are on W10, you may want to look at this.. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5041582-update-released-with-5-changes-and-fixes/ Edited August 31, 20241 yr by Bobsk8
August 31, 20241 yr Oh no! Same thing happend to me a few months back. Could not figure it out. I resolved it by logging in and out all apps relating to the sim. Microsoft Store, Xbox app(there could be more relating to xbox) and for you, Steam. It was really frustrating to the point where I completely uninstalled several apps (xbox, ms store etc) and reinstalled for them to work. Very frustrating. After several attempts it worked. MSFS has a whole section dedicated to similar issues. I cant find the link at the moment.... let me look.... Windows 11 usually doesn't effect the sim at all so it could be a number of issues. Whatever you do, avoid reinstalling the sim. Time consuming and annoying as is. Last resort haha. Before that.... do you have a windows restore point from before the update? it could work but it could also make matters worse. Let me find that link if I can.... 29 minutes ago, Bobsk8 said: Which version of windows are you on?

I’m on Windows 11, so that can't be. But I followed some others advice and uninstalled the update from yesterday, but no luck. I guess it corrupted some file. Steam starts, Msfs is launched and then, nothing. not even the music starts... like if a Firewall is not letting to connect
August 31, 20241 yr Author But just to be sure. I´m a Steam user, but can it be related to Xbox? If so, how?

September 1, 20241 yr Hi there, it happened to me as well after the preview update on 23H2. I couldn't figure out what it was, so I went into apps, advanced option, clicked on terminate, then repair. Restarted the PC and started MSFS from Xbox app. Luckily, that was it, all working normally now. Good luck Mick PC: Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 Super Aorus Master, DDR5 G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2X32 GB, Corsair HX 1000, Fractal Torrent, Samsung LC32 / G7 1440P.

Restarted the PC and started MSFS from Xbox app." Thank’s Mick, but still the same. I followed your instructions, but nothing. Today I tried again to shut down the Antivirus and firewall; Updated the apps; Reinstall the Steam app; On Steam (I'm on MSFS Steam), I checked the integrity of the files; Tried to star Via MSFS exe, and via Steam exe, and the same result. I can see on Steam and on Task Manager that it started, but before the black screen or the music, on Steam I see 100%, and then nothing, as if I hadn't even started. Is it possible to look on Win 11 reports log the problem? If so, How? Or, Reinstall MSFS
