CTD during loading game even after clean install

I still haven’t been able to launch the game once.
I tried most of the suggested workaround, but it still CTD before or just after reaching the main menu.
I bought the game from Steam, I’m running Windows 11 Pro, AMD Ryzen 9, 32 GB RAM and Radeon RX6800 XT, 750W power supply (required <600W). No mods yet, no overclock, no USB peripherals, no antivirus, no other applications. Just a clean install of Windows 11 and Steam.

Error code: 0x80000003.

What I tried so far:

  • updated BIOS
  • uninstalled and installed again from scratch, two times
  • in Steam, verified the integrity of the files
  • tried to run MSFS in safe mode
  • applied all the pending Windows Update items
  • checked dxdiag: no errors
  • tried both the Adrenaline and Pro versions of the drivers
  • set the virtual memory to fixed size (16 GB)
  • set the virtual memory to automatic
  • disabled the network before launching MSFS (often reaches the main menu but CTD a couple of seconds later)
  • changed the AMD Radeon profile: Game, Power save, etc…
  • disabled the Steam Cloud Save and removed its folder

The behavior is always the same.
