MSFS launches and then black screen and then desktop. I'm running WMP, xr toolkit, then msfs.

Hello Shayneosceola,

I'm Nilay and I'll be glad to answer your query today.

Will recommend that you update the GPU driver to the latest version if it's available.

If not, try to uninstall and reinstall a different driver version.

You should also update the BIOS to the latest version.

Find the flight simulator executable, it's in the windows apps folder sometimes it's hidden, and you might need to change permissions from trusted installer to your current user, look up how to do this. Then all you need to do is make a shortcut to the desktop for flightsimultor.exe

Open that shortcut and under Target add -FastLaunch

Let me know if it helps.

Good Luck
Regards

The MSFS seems to start, but it only comes up with a black screen, an nothing happens.

Tried MSFS 2020 using Parallels 16 (configured to use 6 cores and 32gb ram) on 2018 Mac Mini, 64gb Ram, Blackmagic eGpu Pro (Radeon Vega 56). Even though at MSFS program launch it says computer does not meet min specs, it does launch. However runs very
poorly. So no go under windows virtualization.

Hi TimRead5. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

I'm sorry you are experiencing issues accessing MSFS 2020. Have you tried launching the game a different way, for example from your start menu, desktop, or the Microsoft Store app?

Did you try any troubleshooting steps before contacting us?
