So to be clear I do not play MSFS. I use the q3 for IL2 but was looking for a solution to the Link App issue in which the app freezes and won’t connect the q3 to the pc after shutting down the pc and restarting it without repairing or reinstalling the link app. I found this thread seeking a solution and tried the workaround of going into services and stopping the automatic runtime then restarting it which did in fact work for me. But like the reinstall or repair fix it has to be done each time the pc is started.
By chance I saw the Automatic Delayed Start option and set it in Services and to my surprise it appears to fix the problem and does not require redoing it each time I start my pc. I don’t have a ton of reps but have tested it about 10 times and it seems to work. I can shutdown or restart the pc and the link app worked every time.
I signed up here to offer this and hope it works you you all as it appears to work for me. If you want, give it a try and report your results.
