I have been in MSFS since day 1, i have taken part in every Beta since, and logged issues in the past. I never had this issue of the install screen flashing up on loading and having to reset the screen size on every launch of the sim, as it starts every time in windowed mode. THIS Has only occurred since running SU15 Beta.

To just close my post , saying this issue was there before is plain daft. This issue for me and others on Avsim has ony started since SU15!

I don’t think this is a beta issue. I’m running 1.36.20 and I’m seeing the same the behavior, which just started today. Sim starts in windowed mode and even when I change to full-screen in options and then exit, it still loads windowed mode on subsequent load. Sim was working fine yesterday…

Yep I also JUST started getting this today after having no issues for the past year, the issue is that I use Reshade so once I do the alt-enter trick it crashes the game which means I have to start MSFS 3 - 5 times just to start a flight or fly without Reshade which is super frustrating!

Could be a server related issue since “checking for updates” contacts the servers I believe, hopefully tomorrow it will go away

71

I hope so. Along with the windowing issue, I suddenly can’t seem to get through a flight without crashing…

72

Do you use DX11 or 12?

73

DX12. My system has been rock solid until today.

74

Same, starts in Widowed mode, im not in beta.

And here I was thinking this issue was the norm. Not sure I’ve got the sim to load in “Full Screen” despite it being saved as full screen for months.

I’ve even tried to edit the files to force full screen and it still resets.

Good to see this finally getting traction!

I can confirm this. When I start FS, it always starts in windowed mode. I have to manually switch it to full screen each time I load the sim.

Same on my end started a few days ago very annoying issue

Just started for me today as well. Non-beta Steam version. Please fix this.
