Edit: I shut down with the X while watching the Task Manager and MSFS Process vanished from the Task Manager. most likely due the issues went away for you, is the reason it disappeared from the task manager I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

I have found that although the sim does not show up as a running app in the task manager, it may still be running and show up under the task managers Background processes list. If the sim is listed under Background processes, you will get the "Sim is already running" message when you try to restart it. Al
April 25, 20251 yr I tested again but this time I used the Esc key routing and MSFS2020 did not shut down and remained in the Task Manager. My normal exit from MSFS after a flight is always using the X and a PC reboot. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW

Al probably due to the issues now, and closing it by the x instead of the normal method hopefully they will fix the issues in the next update I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

When I used X to close down the SIM, it was closed, no CPU or anything going on. Edited April 25, 20251 yr by Bobsk8

April 25, 20251 yr To all of you who have posted, don't forget to vote here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/msfs-2020-will-not-shut-down-fully/717408
April 25, 20251 yr Well I just shut it down with the X, and checked in task manager, and it was still running using about 33% of CPU. That is a PIA, frankly. Wonder what havoc the 2024 update will unleash when it is dropped.

Voted, but nothing happened. Can't think why. 🤣 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
April 26, 20251 yr A couple of hundred posts on this issue on the FS Forum, not a peep from Asobo. I guess they have this problem on "ignore" like so many other issues.
April 26, 20251 yr I would think it has to be an add-on as I use Alt-F4 to exit 2020, always have and don't have any shutdown problems... Exclusively flying the 777 and 737 with FSHud I've found it's more of an issue to hit esc, go back to the menu and exit than just alt-f4 out from the flightdeck. Has this been confirmed with a vanilla installation? Edited April 26, 20251 yr by psolk Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk

April 26, 20251 yr I am getting the same problem in MSFS 2024. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.

Interesting how small the memory footprint is compared to when you are in sim... This has also been verified with vanilla community? Just asking, don't shoot me 😉 Looks like some are seeing this in '24 now as well. Frustrating. Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
