LS used to work fine and now in 2024 when I activate my whole screen goes black and locks up the PC. I can alt tab and see the apps running but cannot get back to them, any ideas?

What are your LS settings, driver settings and in sim graphics settings for DLSS, FG etc?  

Are you using anything else to lock FPS? 

Let me check, no lock that I know of. TAA, tied both FG and Non.

I have the same problem! And the application freezes my screen too, I have to do ALT+TAB but sometimes, it completely blocks the image so I have to quit MSFS. And I have other applications where I have to switch, especially a vPilot and so yes it doesn't work at all.

I am using a 65 in lcd and have also tried gsync on or off still no luck. It used to work just fine. Island simpilot has videos out there but I have tried all of them.

Are you guys on the latest Beta?

Chris,

Where you have scaling as LS1 turn it to off

Try disabling the cursor scale and clip cursor  

Is it when you hit scale and then select the MSFS window that it happens?

Also, what driver are you using.  Apparently the latest Nvidia Driver itself is having black screen issues

Ok let me try again and I will report back. Yea I thought the latest of the latest fixed the black screen. I never had the issue until I activate LS.

Well that stopped the black screen but it is still freezes. I use ALT s to toggle. I will do more testing. What about Sync mode?

I’m having the issue where the screen “freezes”. The dialogue box then opens asking me to quit the non-responsive program. When I say yes, the frozen screen disappears and MSFS is running just fine. 
im running adaptive in Lossless with the latest nvidia drivers. This just started happening. But when lossless runs, it’s amazing.

Yes I agree I am running a 3080 and when LS runs it is smoother on my machine than FG. I am not having much luck with the tubliners in 2024

Are you using Nvidia game overlay (filters etc)? When it happens to me using LS, the way I've found to return to the sim without Alt F4ing it is to hit Alt F3 (Nvidia filters). This opens the filters and returns the screen to normal. Not sure what causes the screen to freeze in the first place. Maybe overloaded GPU? Anyway, hope this helps you.

I am not using any filters at this point. Thanks
