FlightSimulator.exe - Application Error (0x80000003) - A breakpoint has been reached

I was able fix the x80000003 exception issue on my PC by setting manage virtual memory to automatic. Hopefully this change resolves it for you too. Here’s how:

  1. From the Search bar type Performance.

  2. Choose the Adjust appearance and performance of Windows. This will pop a Performance Options window.

  3. Click on the Advanced tab.

  4. Click on the Change… button in the Virtual memory section.

  5. Check the box Automatically manage paging file size for all drives

  6. Click OK

  7. Reboot your computer

Flight Simulator 2020 works great after this change!
