MSFS 2020 CRASH WHEN START

Hi I have personally found out whatever anyone says the best thing to do after a crash of the MSFS2020 is to uninstal in XBox Games and reinstal. Yet you will have to sit thru the 137GB of data to reinstal and any scenery files you had but it will work again till the next time they decide to update something. Its a MICROSOFT and XBOX issue. It is NOT your computer or you whatever they may make it sound like when repplying to your querry. And if you happen to have WINDOWS 10 STAY ON WINDOWS 10 till the very last. I had upgraded to Windows 11 and my computer literally went to an unending loop of BSOD till I had to buy a Windows 11 OEM disk to rectify the issue. Not worth it brother. MSFS2020 is full of corrupt files!!!!

Hello, B R1

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

There are several possible solutions to fix Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 crashes on startup. Here are some of them:

• Disable all non-Microsoft apps in the Start-up tab of the Task Manager and then try launching the game again. Or you can perform a clean boot to try to find out if there's any program interfering with the game: How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
  
• Force stop the game and then reopen it to see if the crashes still occur.
  
• Reset or repair the app through Windows Settings.
  
• Ensure that the game is fully updated before loading it again after a crash.
  
• Increase the virtual memory of your PC to prevent crashes caused by memory usage.
  

Detailed steps for the suggestions above can be found here: Crash to desktop without error message - Bug Reports / Resolved - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums. You can also learn more troubleshooting steps: How to troubleshoot crashing on the loading screen issues – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

Some of the above steps involve the operating system or other programs. Please understand that game-related issues are sometimes not necessarily related to the game itself, but may also be related to the operating system or other programs. Although you may not want to touch the operating system or other programs, these troubleshooting steps are still necessary.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact Microsoft Flight Simulator Support for further assistance: Submit a request – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

Hello Everyone fellow gamers NOT Microsoft team.... After I posted here with same issue and not really getting any reply all day, I uninstalled game for the 8th time and now reinstalling... and guess what NO ERROR ON LAUNCH made it to the screen where its redownloading 137 GB of data again. Yippeee It will work again till the next update. If Windows 11 64 bit could handle MSFS2000 Proffesional Edition it has the Concorde I'd gladly put that back in NO CRASHES WHATSO EVER cause its a REAL Microsoft Game Studios Product or Microsoft 2004 A Century Of Flight or even Microsoft X (That stopped working when I went to Windows 10) For what its worth MSFS2020 is great on graphics NOT MUCH ELSE!!!!! :-(

I have same issue getting tired of uninstalling and reinstally this software since I bought it Jan 2022 this is the 7th reinstal. ONLY game that needs so much reinstalling to work for a few days. WHY????? I have screenshots of error codes:

Windows 11 64 bit

Intel i9 11900

Asus Rog Strix RX570 with newest drivers

32GB ram

Bought this game digital copy from Microsoft Store

Hi!

I have a same problem. After I create my flightplan and press 'FLY' button, the game starts loading and crash -> exit without message. Why? I used this game without error, but now I can't use it. I'm angry.
