ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

After exiting to desktop from the main menu it doesn’t seem like the sim is fully exiting. My GPU fans are still higher than idle, and the ORBX and FlyByWire (for example) won’t launch saying they can’t run with the sim running even though it went back to desktop.

I can’t find any process in Task Manager that would seem to be FS related to kill.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every flight

This was a known fault some time ago which Asobo managed to sort out. But I’ve had this happen a couple of times in the last few days but noticed it was around the same time I had problems with my internet connection. Any similarity?
