Hmmmm no mention of MSFS flight simulator.

They never do and yet, and information comes on this page.

After installing the new 566.03 in “clean” mode I get this:

the game crashed
error code;(0xc0000005)

After uninstalling and going back to version 560.94 everything is back to normal.
So in my case the problem is the NVidia update, only with Flight Simulator.

I suggest to clear the nvidia caches after clean install. You can use my tool: Corsten´s cache & shader removal tool for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS it makes backups of the files.

Works fine here.

No need because the correct process for uninstalling and installing new drivers is described below:

1 Download the new driver.
2 In Windows Safe Mode, uninstall the old driver using freeware DDU software.
3 After restarting PC, install new driver.

During the uninstallation process, the cache of the old driver will be deleted.

Not the all Nvidia cache files. And MSFS cache files are certainly not deleted after nvidia driver update. It is higly recodemnd by several community members, that msfs cache files should be deleted also after every msfs and nvidia driver update.

I wasn’t aware that DDU doesn’t delete all files and folders. Could you please specify which folders are not removed? I’m specifically asking about the Nvidia cache not game cache or directx cache.

edit

I completely agree, I’ve been reminding everyone about this for ages but it seems I forgot this time.
Maybe my memory needs a restart like a PC after installing a new driver :rofl:

I can test later this week, wich folders are untouched from this list:

  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\D3DSCache
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GLCache
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\NVIDIA\ComputeCache
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache
  • C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\GLCache

As I mentioned we are only interested in the Nvidia folders because those are the only ones that DDU should delete. I can check that myself when I have some free time.

That is because MSFS is not coming until November. So they don’t need to publish a driver for the sim that is still a bit out.

I run a 4090 and 560.94 is the best driver for me as well in terms of stutters and frame dips.

Working perfectly here. (4090).

I have never had to mess about with DDU or any other convoluted install methods.

Clean install. Reboot. Done. Continue with day.

Working fine on my end (4090 also).

thanks to all for your contribution but I could only solve it by reinstalling, solved.

I have done many hrs of testing. I think MSFS 2020 cause error code;(0xc0000005) is the memory set to XMP. So disable XMP in the bios will eliminated the error code (0xc0000005).
