Are you using Oculus software?

Oculus software causing the sim to crash with Faulting module name: openxr_loader.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll

We have seen in the past few weeks a lot of reports with the sim crashing and when investigating the logs, we can see the following errors with the sim: Faulting module name: openxr_loader.dll Faulting module name: VCRUNTIME140.dll If your sim is crashing and you check the logs and see these errors, this is caused by the Oculus software. Opting out of the beta test channel within the Oculus software should resolve the problem. Open the Oculus app on your PC. Select Settings in the left menu…

If not, rename your community folder to community-backup and start MSFS in safe mode. If you can start a flight with a default aircraft, then an addon is causing the problem.
