MSFS keeps starting in windowed mode

Recently, MSFS keeps starting in windowed every time I launch it. Even when I closed it in full-screen mode. The first 3 splash screens are in full-screen mode though but as soon as it starts checking for updates, it switches to windowed mode and stays there until I manually switch it back to full-screen.

No big deal but quite annoying.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Yes, I keep getting the same. Noticed it over the last 2 weeks but may have been happening longer.

Well known bug. Affects most players. Started with last small update about 2 weeks ago.
Hopefully will be fixed before MSFS2024 launches.

Yes and there is no audio during the dev screen logo.

Also, when I am midflight and move my mouse to do something, there is a moment of freeze, then the engines turn off or the trim gets screwed up. I have no proof that this is connected but my gut says it is. Started happening around the same time.

MS2024 really?..its already fixed in SU15 beta

It’s solved in my case. No windowed mode anymore.

This has been discussed for days:

Thanks guys and good to hear it’s been addressed in SU15 :+1:
