Error code 0xc0000005 on startup

Hi I’ve never had issues with the msfs crashing but now it crashes everytime on start up. Opens the initial load screen then I get a pop up saying game has crashed with error code 0xc0000005.

Updated windows 11
Updated all other software
tried removing community folder

I’m running on a pc. Any ideas what else to check?

Thanks

found this in event viewer

Empty the community folder would be the first thing to try. Also disconnect all external peripherals except mouse, and keyboard during the tests.

Thanks all, tried everything and nothing worked other than a reinstall which has worked. Back flying now :slight_smile:
