MSFS2020 is CTD while starting and cannot be played

The game optimization feature in the Nvidia app has never been the cause of CTD. As I mentioned earlier, it’s not necessary to optimize MSFS for it to work properly - it’s fully functional without Nvidia optimization feature.

fixed it for me

Yes, the NVIDIA app is indeed the app causing the crashing when in DirectX 11 while loading. While in DirectX 12 mode it will load & run fine. But you’ll see an error in the ‘Windows event log’ show up relating to DirectX12 after shutting the sim (2020) down.
