Just a reminder that there are official tips about avoiding CTD’s here in this forum. Some may now be out of date. See link below…
I stop Windows Explorer when running my simulator. I use Razor Game Booster to close down a number of background processes too before launching the simulator. Using this method with Razor, it’s easy to close Windows Explorer. I noted that this is suggested as one of the tips for avoiding CTD’s.
I always close Windows ‘SearchApp.exe’ which can lead to high CPU usage. WARNING If you do not re-enable it you will loose your search window on Task Bar. It’s fine to disable this while gaming. I do not normally link to game booster’s however, at the moment I find this tool very useful especially for it’s extra features. Of course, make sure your anti-virus is set-up to exclude all the important MSFS folders, (they may not be all on one drive!).
Anyway, If you have not read this closed thread then please do.
