MSFS load hangup

If you’ve emptied your Community folder already, that’s fair enough.

But there is a way to force Safe Mode.

Use that code to create a file called “running.lock” in that location, and it will force the sim to ask you if you want to launch in safe mode or not. Copied below for convenience.

Assuming it can get that far of course.
