I thought this issue was to be fixed with Sim Update 16 on July 1st, it looks like that update has been pushed back but I couldn’t find any information as to when?

That’s right, in fact it was about the third expected date. The latest word on the street is that they’re waiting till after Expo 25, but it’s all speculaton of course.
And then again there’s the imminent explosion of Betelgeuse…

I think I figured it out. We all thought we were buying a flight simulator, but instead we purchased a patience simulator.

I tested a couple of things, this might help. First, yes, if you use NVidia. I have a 4070 Super. Using the App to set the graphics as some suggested did stop the problem for a time. I found the issue cropped back up when I increased the rolling cache to a rather large number, like 100GB. Turning it off and deleting it allowed MSFS 2020 to shutdown normally. I then went back in and set it to just 16GB. Still shuts down normally. I’m guessing it’s a memory issue if that is too big, or not sized based on a based 2 number. For example, 16GB, then 32GB, 64GB etc. Honestly, I didn’t get a big boost making the rolling cache bigger anyway and have seen where it can cause other issues. In any case, Use the NVidia app and check you rolling cache under Data, or Manual Cache if you’re someone who uses that.

Very interesting and thanks to take the time to check it out.
For me unfortunately it didn’t work - I hav 16 GB rolling cache and MSFS2020 doues not shut down properly - indeed I own an old RTX 2060 an this can make the difference…
I have the 2060 and it’s a fine card, perfectly adequate if you don’t need 3,000 FPS. A bit hot-running though; it doesn’t start throttling down till it gets to about the high 80s.
Back on topic, I don’t even use a rolling cache so that’s not the cause.
I don’t use a rolling cache either. And I have an AMD card and not Nvidia. My FS2020 still will not shut down properly.
my msfs still shut down in task manager but not in steam program, must restart to reload msfs…
old game input service was causing issues
follow steps in video
for some reason the old one is not installed during a windows update…
this has helped me and i notice performance improvement to MSFS.
flight sim closes normally and fully, most of the time
also aerosoft toolbar pushback pro has done weird things to my system, I uninstalled it.
Thanks, but my Windows\System 32 (as well as Windows\SYSWOW64) have no gameinput folder nor any gameinput files.
Hi, just getting the Beta update 1.39.50 and in fact it solves the issue. Now we just have to be patient until the update comes.
