You’d think theyd release a small patch to address it intead of keeping it with SU15 since they keep delaying it. Its incredibly annoying, especially when going fullscreen with alt+enter crashing my sim.
I just click on the icon in the top right of the screen. No big deal.
found out you can alt+enter very easily and it’ll go away

Brief description of the issue:
Installation Manger always kicks the game out of full screen mode after launching the game requiring me to use Left ALT + Enter every time to reestablish full screen. The game launches in full screen initially as per my settings to run in full screen no window. At first launch the game launcher window comes up, checks for updates then the game begins to load as normally in full screen according to my game settings. Throughout the loading process there is an installation manger window that pops up, again to check for updates again, but when this installation manager screen loads, subsequently it kicks the game out of full screen into windowed mode. Despite the game settings set to full screen no window, I still have to use Alt Enter to get back into full screen mode, thus the game is not following my settings of full screen mode, it never returns back on its own.

This is a known problem which is being corrected in SU15.
Why not release hot-fixes for some issues? The “open in a windows-bug” would be a great example where a hotfix should have done wonders.
I wasn’t in the beta and now with SU15 live I can confirm this is happening for me. Sometimes it reverts back to windowed mode by itself, sometimes it stays in full screen where I can only see my cursor and hear the sound of it moving over the various selections in the main menu but that’s it. Black screen with just the mouse cursor.
P.S. once the flight loaded I was able to go Alt-Enter into fullscreen mode. It just doesn’t seem to work from any of the menus.
ehhh why does it still load in windowed mode after the mandatory update?
Hello @PSVwally,
As @Hester40MT noted above, the first time you launch the sim following an update, it will always launch in windowed mode. After you change this back to full screen, the bug that was preventing this setting from being preserved between sessions has now been resolved in SU15, so you won’t have to manually toggle to full screen mode every time.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
