Sorry for the confusion I just meant that the user can open the task manager and selected the MSFS task, right click and select end task. TO access the task manager Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc all at the same time. The user doesn't have to shut down the PC.

Normally that's the case, you can use TM to shut down processes but in my case I can't even open TM. It's possible ChasePlane contributed to as these issues seemed to start after installing. Can do a complete flight just fine but no way to shut it down now w/o hitting the power button.

April 28, 20251 yr I doubt it's because of ChasePlane. I don't have it installed and seeing this issue. Tonnes of reports of this, and still no fix. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer
April 28, 20251 yr Me too, same thing since a couple off time..??

April 28, 20251 yr Just did a short test flight. MSFS 2020 seemed to shut down normally now....maybe its fixed. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 5.2GHz | Gigabyte Aorus Elite RX 9070XT | MSI X870E Edge TI WiFi MB | M.2 NVMe SSD"s 1X1TB/2X2TB/1X4TB | HDD's 2X8TB | 32GB DDR5 6000MHz | Windows 11 64 Pro
April 28, 20251 yr Spoke too soon. My second flight was back to having to use Task manager to shut the sim down. Not fixed.

I think in the long thread on the MSFS forum, even folks with an empty Community folder experienced this issue as well. Did you install the CU 10? Bryan OpalkaNoble Air - Americas Region

Actually, I did not but I still got that 700+ meg download and update on the same day as CU10 (which I think has actually improved Frame Gen) so that part of the update was forced but I never installed the CU.

April 28, 20251 yr @psolk The reason I asked was that was a thought on what the culprit might be. In addition to the forced update, I also grabbed CU10 (and two WU updates that were listed in my content manager). Bryan OpalkaNoble Air - Americas Region

I was referring to the fact I can't even get to Task Manager--it essentially locks up when I try to close MSFS 2020 and I've not read much about that seems like most testimonies are using TM to end the process.

April 29, 20251 yr It seems many are not aware that the "End all tasks" function is available in the right click context menu. This saves a visit to the task manager to do the same thing. It has the same effect as the kill batch file while also being able to kill (close) other problematic tasks. No doubt the fact that this menu item is disabled by default had led to this lack of use. To enable. Click Start, then Settings, then System. On the RHS click "For developers" Turn on "End Task" No reboot required. Next time a program does not close right click its icon in the status bar and click "End task" Cheers David howevr

My understanding is that this is a Win 11 feature, not found in Win 10 but I could be wrong. -B
