Yes. This occurred on a brand new install with mods never installed. On the first flight.

After clicking the button to return to the main menu after a flight, the loading bar will briefly progress normally before freezing, accompanied by the sim becoming unresponsive. This happens almost every time, maybe 1 in 10 tries will work normally.

I’ve had this in the past where an addon which is using simconnect didn’t properly deal with the end flight, causing the sim to crash. Are you running anything along side the sim, such as an AI injection product or similar? My work around was to close the AI injection tool, before hitting end flight. In my case the developer of the addon sorted the issue in a later release.

Nothing running alongside at all except for MSI Afterburner. Rivatuner isn’t enabled so it can’t be the overlay. It was working with zero issues yesterday, then I reinstall W11 and get things back up and running, and then this bug starts happening. Obviously this points some suspicion to something changing with W11, but as far as settings and drivers go it is the exact configuration it was when it was previously working.

It wouldn’t be so frustrating if this wasn’t a vanilla install and happening from the very first flight. I ended up uninstalling it since I figured the only way I could fix it was a full reinstall anyway. But I don’t plan on reinstalling until the next sim update (even if it doesn’t address this “bug”).
