No PMDG installed here, just keep hitting same error code in thread.
Following one of the recommendations linked in thethread I was able to overcome the error after basically reinstalling windows (keeping files and folders). The sim loaded a couple of times before the same error hit again.
I’ve attempted the first method described in the below article and the sim successfully launched. Unsure it it will load consistently yet as I’ve just performed this, but I wanted to put a note in here in case others are having this. basically stop windows update service, delete a few folders and restart the service.
