Have the same issue with MSFS 2024 but only after approx 3h flight.
In the same moment the camera was moved using freelook MSFS 2024 responded like that: It
- disabled the [Esc] key so I could not switch back to Menu nor access the settings or quit the flight.

  • disabled the option to switch between cockpit cameras
  • disabled mouse free look
  • disabled all controls in sim (had to reassign them in mobiflight mid-flight)
  • disabled the ability to close the once opened “camera window”
  • hid the mouse cursor when MSFS 2024 was in focus
