2-5 minute random freezes (not responsive)

Hello, I have been having issues with MSFS freezing for extended periods of time, usually lasting several minutes. I do not know what is causing this as changing the settings doesn’t change the outcome. It does not lead to a CTD.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

No

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons? If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the Community Support section.

Yes

Brief description of the issue:

The simulator freezes for minutes on end after two to three hours into the flight

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

I experimented with and without mods, it will happen regardless of how populated the area is. They will both freeze over South Dakota just as much as it would Los Angeles. I checked the performance and the peripherals were free of any bottlenecks and were not stressed
