January 28, 20251 yr This has happened to me twice today. I can get around it by restarting my PC (and starting MSFS again) but just wondering why it has started to do this today? Also I now can't get 'windows' mode to 'stick' anymore. I select it then 'apply' but the next time I start MSFS it has returned to full screen. Is this part of the last update to MSFS?

Which graphics driver / version? I see the same problem. I recently got a small MSFS2020 (1.38.2) update and I am using Nvidia 566.36.

January 28, 20251 yr Probably all you have to do next time is make sure you are logged on to your Xbox account before starting FS. It sometimes fails to sign you in. Menno i7-11700, 16GB, 1 TB SSD, 2 TB HDD, RTX 3070, Windows 11, MSFS 2020 DeLuxe, P3D 4.5
January 28, 20251 yr As above, cured the issue for me year's ago, as it did happen quite often in the early days for me. AMD Ryzen 7800x3d 64gb DDR5, Sapphire 7900 GPU MSSI Tomahawk AM5 M/Board. 1x 4tb Crucial M.2 SSD, 3x 2tb Crucial M.2 SSD's

Whenever I see this, I restart my computer and then launch MSFS from the XBox app. Seems to work every time. i9-10850K, ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI), 32GB G.SKILL DDR4-3603 / PC4-28800, GIGABYTE RTX5080 16GB WF OC 3 FAN running 3440x1440
January 31, 20251 yr Author Thanks everyone. My Nvidia installed driver version is 32.0.15.6636 (according to device manager) which I thought was the latest (W10). My video 'card' is a Gigabyte NVidia RTX2060 OC 6Gb I really don't want to have to restart my PC whenever it occurs and until recently I never got the problem. Obviously something has changed for the worst (not the best). Anyway I will, reluctantly, do what you guys have suggested.

January 31, 20251 yr I’ve had that a few times after driver updates or changing overclock settings. I’ve not had to restart the computer, but starting the sim from the Xbox app seems to work every time, and subsequent starts from a shortcut work without issue.

I never signed into the X-box before MSFS and have never had these problems until recently. It worked. I signed into XBox then started MSFS then changed the screen to windowed, exited MSFS, exited XBox and restarted MSFS and the screen mode 'stuck'. Quite absurd though needing to do that and is it documented anywhere?
