I installed the Windows 11 update today and all apps and programs work fine EXCEPT FSX Steam. When I open it from my desktop the opening banner appears for about two seconds and disappears. I have tried running it as Administrator and changed the compatibility settings. In desperation I completely uninstalled Steam and FSX Steam frown. Still not working. Any suggestions before I roll back to Windows 10 ?

Thanks for your reply. I removed windows 11 and reinstalled windows 10. Now everything works just fine, except that it will take me a week to reinstall all of my addons. My new computer is a gamming computer with specs that far exceed the minimum requirements for Windows 11 and FSX so I am sure there is no issue there. I have another computer with FSX on it and I think I will experiment with Windows 11 on that one. I will also try the items listed in the thread that you included. I plan to move on to MSFS 2020 in the near future. I sure hope that goes smoother!
