December 20, 20241 yr Hi all, Last week, my Windows 11 update was indicating that 24H2 update was available. Naturally, I did this update and all was good. First flight I did was on PMDG 777 and no issues there. However, firing up Aerosoft A3XX Professional, it just CTD upon loading.. Further investigation into Aerosoft and P3D forum suggests Windows 11 24H2 update ruins some XML files. This seems to cause some issues. Trying to get Aerosoft to investigate is a roadblock. They are quoting to me that A3xx professional was built for Windows 10... So good luck and **** you pretty much. https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/178450-p3d-54-and-windows-11-24h2-aerosoft-a3xx-crash/ Also trying to get P3D to investigate.. but seems to me they are not willing to help much. https://prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=151166 I've opened a feedback support ticket at Microsoft.. but I'm not too sure how much support I will get from them. I've managed to roll back to 23H2 and all of them are back to normal. No CTD at all. I'm just wondering... is there anything else I'm missing with this? Anyone found any solution to this at all?
December 20, 20241 yr How about just reinstalling the Airbusses?

December 20, 20241 yr Yes, this. I have found that the AS Airbusses often fail to load after Windows updates (even the monthly one), and re-installing them helps. I have the A318/319, the A320/321, and the A330, and I only have to re-install ONE of those packages for all Airbusses to return to normal.

December 20, 20241 yr Moderator I updated Windows yesterday. Found two problems. 1) GoFlight GF166 units remain blank. Other GF kit is fine. Uninstalling and reinstalling GF setup program resolved things. 2) Steam Lossless Scaling stopped working. New version installed. Stopped using RTSS for fps limiter and switched to Nvidia Control Panel instead. DXGI no longer supported. Alternative option fine. I’ve only flown FSL Concorde and that was fine. Testing other 3rd party aircraft today. Ray (Cheshire, England).

December 20, 20241 yr I've done one flight in pmdg 747 and no issues since update. I will test an a2a plane next. I don't have any buses. Is that the voice of pmdg in as support? 🤔 Russell Gough SE London
December 25, 20241 yr I've encountered exactly the same issues with the Airbus Pro series... did a complete reinstall of Windows 11 Pro and several installations of the Aerosoft Airbus Pro series... no luck! Hope Aerosoft/ PREPAR3D look into it as for me it would finally be a pushover to MSFS.

December 26, 20241 yr I have found after updating W11 I had redo my program exclude again, this tends be to down to windows updating your security back to default on some programs. Raymond Fry.
January 1, 20251 yr More stupid bugs of Windows 11 24H2 Windows 11 24H2 destroyed MS's XML 's string function. "sstr" .. Search string ... Now broken "symb" .. Get 1 character from the string ... Only 8 character from the top is correct "uc" "lc" .. Upper case and lower case .. Now destroys the string Under explains a bit more. Those functions are used to read the string which is written in "title=" line of aircraft.cfg https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10227509579349317&set=gm.2523375564534587&idorvanity=152608834944617 On Windows 11 23H2 .. there is a report that no problem. Problem started from 24H2. So far only way is roll back to 23H2. Edited January 1, 20251 yr by Hiroshi_Igami

That is exactly what they want, that we buy the next crappy product. I think we have to hope and wait for the next W11 update.

Problem started from 24H2. So far only way is roll back to 23H2. You're right. Unfortunately, if you don't "roll back" within 10 days, you cannot roll back at all. It's greyed out. I want to roll back too because I have been posting in this and other forums about missing wings in TDS planes. The problem was explained to me just as you say above. For me, it's too late.
January 3, 20251 yr Hi, just to let you guys know that the 5.3.17.28160 works just fine on the 24H2 with the all the Aerosoft A3XX Professional, there is something wrong with the 5.4 build itself, if you are not using anything that depends on this verion just use the older one.

I love 5.4. Hate to go back to 5.3, but that is indeed interesting.
January 13, 20251 yr Hi guys, It is definitely a Microsoft 24H2 update issue... have rolled back to Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (entirely new re-installation). Found a link on YT as how to prevent the latest 24H2 from installing. Link: https://youtu.be/nEjkPacrJ00?si=9dZsN0cn8VNSTK6A It has solved the CTD issue in my case. I can now operate my Airbus Pro series as previous. Microsoft certainly know how to frustrate folks!

January 16, 20251 yr Is there any POSSIBLE WAY to find a link that allows us to REVERT back to 23H2? As I've mentioned, Microsoft won't allow this after 10 days have elapsed since the upgrade. I would pay to be able to go back!
