So Just wondering has anybody tried the new Windows 11 Beta, and has it fixed their CTD… I’m thinking of trying it to fix my VCRUNTIME140.dll as nothing else has worked
I moved topic to from Bugs and Issues to Self Service-PC. Win 11 at this time is in early beta and not supported.
No worries… Cheers!

I have used MSFS for about 20 hours in Windows 11 beta without a single crash.

Interesting! have you used it in VR ?
I never had the CTD before. And switching to Win 11 made no difference to me.

Im using 11 on a processor that isnt even supported (ROFL?) and the sims running fine here, when it runs but when it runs happened in 10 as well.
Not Windows 11, I sold the HMD before upgrading…
I recently got an email with an invitation to install Win 11. My Win 10 and MSFS are both working fine and I do not want to take a chance that Win 11 may cause issues with MSFS in my specific case.
However, I suppose to answer the main point of this topic, one would have to do a “fresh or totally clean” install of Win 11 to fully answer if CTD’s are possibly solved in Win 11. I’m unsure if this is currently possible or if an upgrade is the only way currently.
All that said, I have read countless posts of users who had CTD’s in MSFS, and did the fresh totally clean install of Win 10, and the CTD’s in MSFS remained. So this lead me to believe that its not the OS. The configuration of the OS in relation to the hardware is believable as a possible cause. Perhaps Win 11 will configure hardware to suit MSFS better. But both being in beta (MSFS is being updated often too), it could be a rough ride as a MSFS troubleshooting process.
Hi!
I’ve installed windows 11 insider build beta yesterday and MSFS work very fine in VR.
I have the HP G2 and it work with WMR very fine
No CTD and very smooth

Technically we can’t fresh install Win 11 at the moment. We can only clean install Windows 10 first, then before doing anything we instantly join the Insider Dev channel and install Windows 11 as an Upgrade.
I think CTDs causes can be varied. It may not be OS’s issue specifically, but it could also come from other causes, like Memory overflow/leak. Or excessive overclocking. Community mods are also a prime cause of issues.
So usually, I think the best way to test whether MSFS can be run stable, is not only to clean install the OS or reinstall the sim. But also to Reset BIOS setting all the way to factory default. Stock clockspeed, no overclocking. Everything factory default. Then reinstall OS, and reinstall MSFS without any community mods. And try flying that way.
Note: Just tried enabling HAGS (hardware accelerated GPU scheduling) and I couldn’t even get the game to load. Would flash on the screen for a second and then nothing.
So I bit the bullet, And upgraded to Windows 11 (Insider Preview) Everything went ok on the install wasnt sure what way it would go because I’m dual booting Win 10… But installed ok and MBR BCD intact… Performance wasn’t as good as I’d had before… some slight stutters on a quick flight from London to Dublin and just reaching Coast of Dublin as always VCRUNTIME140.dll, and some new ones GameBar.exe, - Windows.UI.Xaml.dll, - ucrtbase.dll,… So there you go upgrade to Win 11 for me didnt fix anything unfortunately

Game mode On or Off ? what works best for you ?
Well it doesn’t crash the game but not enough testing, just had it on for a flight, ran great but it was a one off.
They are really pushing the tin at LAX today!

I also have seen CTD solutions involving setting all USB ports and possibly other devices to always on (in device manager) and/or prevent them from any power management “sleep” modes.
I wonder if Win 11 will default all USB’s to always on and let the user decide to put specific ports to sleep. Not likely, with the touting of the energy savings as being a large factor. Before too long (maybe Win 13) an active main hard disk will be put to sleep even while being used during file transfers or backups…saving energy will be more important than completing a vital task.
Flight sims cannot afford to save any energy at all. At least not until some major radical change in hardware, OS, and FS platform allows for such a thing.
Perhaps the MSFS development team could suggest to the Win 11 development team to include a MSFS power mode?? Changing all them device manager settings can be a pain, and even the extreme power mode setting in Win 10 does not change the specific USB hub/port PM settings…at least it did not for me approx. 5 months ago.
Debating installing windows 11
I don’t have crashing problems tho, but I don’t have great internet so my question is does upgrading to win 11 keep all programs currently installed?
To save me downloading the entire game again
I haven’t got anything else installed on my drive… only MSFS and some monitoring software, I think there’s a compatibility checker somewhere, I had to spend a bit of time getting the items below working

Your system Bios has to have these and be enabled
