Flight Simulator crashes every time I use it after several minutes - the time can vary., but the message is always the same.

I had not used the Sim for several months and have had several updates install since then. Prior to the updates the program had been running fine. I have NVidia GTX 1070 and running the FS on the optimized settings from GEForce experience. I have tried starting it from there and also from start menu as administrator. I just downloaded the latest GEForce game driver - 5.8.02. Here is a screenshot from when the program locked up:
