I’ve gotten in the habit of checking the MS Store before I launch Flight Sim. Three times out of five there is at least one update waiting to be installed; this morning it was “Gaming Services” and “XBox Game Bar.”
Does this make a difference in providing a smooth(er) experience with MSFS? I do not have a definitive answer to that, except to say the flights I’ve made since following this routine have been free of CTD events.
Posted here with the hope that you all have similar good luck!
