Every so often, after the latest upgrade, during or after a flight the system locks uip. Some are so tight that I havve to reboot the PC, while somtimes I can kill the sim in the task manager. Anyone else haveing this problem?

Yes. It has happened twice for me. Both with glass cockpit aircraft — first with the 737-700 and then the HJet. Both required me to quit the sim via Task Manager. Neither were a traditional CTD, but a complete sim lockup with hung sound.
It’s not something I’d experienced before SU14.
I’ve not seen anything like this with steam gauge aircraft, which I mostly fly. I’ve flown quite a few different steam gauge aircraft since SU14 released.

I can also say I’ve seen this on Xbox Series X with airliners and I’ve seen others report this (I think @Red81Trekker experienced this recently too). It began in SU 14 Beta.

Yes, I reported my experiences on his thread, too.

Do you have game mode turned on by chance?
In Windows on PC? Yes.

My PC locks up in a TBM when I try to change things in the flight plan. I also thjink if trying to do things too fast with the MFD map, like zooming in and out too fast. I have 3 24 in monitors and use a tablet connected via SpaceDesk where I pop out the PFD.

Several times I’ve had the lock-up (requiring Task Manager kill) when going back to the Main Menu.
Has not happened while flying at all, even with flights of approx. 1 hour. Only happens when going back to the Main Menu.

Same. Happened twice out of the last five flights I did. Ending the flight and the sim freezes. The other time yesterday it also froze while on approach. That makes 3/5 sessions that ended per task manager…
Didn’t have issues before SU14…

Had a similar issue myself. Emptied community folder and have not had a hard freeze since. I’m most of the way back on community, I presume il eventually add the “right” thing back and it will start freezing again.
I disabled the sim’s live traffic and didn’t have a lockup on my last couple flights. Not enough data points to determine that this was the issue but maybe someone else wants to try as well.

Often, when I try to return to the menu after a flight, the sim freezes with the blue progress bar halfway across the screen. It stops at the same position each time it happens. I have to kill the task.
This seems to have begun happening after the latest Dec 2023 update.
Nothing has changed in my community folder for months.
Is there a log file that I can interrogate ?

There’s a topic already: Sim Lockups
I have the same issue. Last couple flights were okay after disabling live traffic in the sim. Maybe you can try and see if it helps you? Still not sure that was it, haven’t been able to play much lately.
Tested this today. Unfortunately this intermittent freezing occurred with live traffic on and with it off. Curious if you have flown since above post and what your experience is.

Where would a log file be? I lockup when I try to exit the sim. The progress bar goes about halfway across the screen, then stops, and I have to kill the sim. If you tell me where the log files are I will send you one right after it locks up.
Yes I would like to know if there is a log file I can interrogate. I’m not sure if there is a way to enable a debug mode in the sim in order to create such a log file.
Same here too, MSFS freezes when I select/click “END MAIN MENU” and I have to use the task manager to end/terminate MSFS, very annoying

After reading all the posts regarding this freeze error lately and no real solution i’m afraid thats a bigger issue somewhere between MSFS and the Nvidia drivers. For me the problems started after SU14 with no update or changes at all and now it’s a gamble to complete a flight. Someone at Asobo really need to have a look on all these issues.
