February 7Feb 7 Haven't seen this mentioned so forgive if I missed it. Recently I have had performance issues, including flickering screens in both MFS2020 and MFS2024 when they were in focus. Luckily the flickering went away in VR. After removing the windows update, flickering has gone and performance is back. The culprit is update KB5074109 . https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/yet-another-windows-update-is-wreaking-havoc-on-gaming-rigs-worldwide-nvidia-recommends-uninstalling-windows-11-kb5074109-january-update-to-prevent-framerate-drops-and-artifacting

February 8Feb 8 Thanks so much for sharing this info @mobeans10. I had these issues after the last update but had not realized they were connected (did some HW changes at the same time). Formally screen name was Alex_YSSY until the forum software ate my account ^_^
