I need help because msfs 2024 was soo laggy that my computer can’t force close it, or shut down safely.
I was recording a video about msfs 2024 but however it ran poorly. Much worse than it has ever. Once i was done i tried to go to main menu but it took minutes, then i tried to close it but it wouldn’t. I used steam to force close it and once i was done it still said “closing”. Then i open task manager to see that once it was closed msfs 2024 was running as a background app using up all of my system resources. I tried closing it but even when force quitting it didn’t work. I tried to do a safe shutdown but it was using soo much recourses that my whole operating system (windows 11) froze. It couldn’t even get to the shutdown screen. My computer has been frozen for over 20 minutes now without a blue screen of death or shutting down. I know i could just do a force shutdown but i am worried about a system corruption.
You should be fine, just hit the button
My computer is completly frozen and not even the mouse moves which means i would have to completely stop power from coming to the computer by hitting the PSU switch which is not safe but also i would need to investigate why my pc is doing that
I have pressed the psu switch and i need to do a investigation to ses what could have happened and check for game and system corruption
You can shut down a non-responsive PC by holding the power button.
No idea if that’s any more safe than simply turning the power off. It’s very unlikely that either would actually cause a problem though.

I don’t know where you came by the notion that a forced shutdown by pressing and holding the power button is “not safe”. In what way is it “not safe”? If your computer is frozen, sometimes that’s the only way to get it to shut down. You will not lose any of your saved data or bork any of the components by doing a forced shut down.
And “yes”, that is an event that requires some investigation after reboot.

The reason why i said its not safe is because there is a small chance it could corrupt everything which would require a full wipe.
I think I found the issue as well. I was reviewing the a350 addon from inibuilds and something about it must have made the sim run poor to the point where the application could not be forced to shutdown. I have experienced something similar without addons a few months ago but I shut down my computer.
I was also seeing if i can make a livery for it using blender but the model kept freezing and nearly crashed my computer and I only experienced this in the new update for it.
In the event viewer i found nothing either. There was nothing related to the crash or msfs itself.
This could also just be something in msfs 2024 but whatever it is it has to be linked between msfs 2024 and the inibuilds a350.
We’re WAY beyond Windows 286 (circa. 1988). That will never happen with today’s OS’s.
Definitely reasonable likelihood given your findings.
You were running Blender AND the sim at the same time? You probably slaughtered your VRAM, that could explain the crash.
I was running blender after that, also I didn’t have blender installed at the time.
sorry for the confusion!
