Rogen, the only things I’ve had to work on in 11 is adding exceptions for Defender to ignore as 11 is far more “protective” than 10 and earlier.

If something isn’t broken I tend to leave well alone and yes, like you I have 20+ years of IT experience. I suppose I’m not a tweaker. 😁

All those programs running in the background are having no impact on my flight sim sessions. The Adobe ones are reported as having high impact but don’t seem to have any effect.

I was offered a free upgrade of 10 to 11 on two computers which was gratefully accepted.

An update. ALT + spacebar now removes the menu bar. Maybe a Windows update has “fixed” it. 🤣

Thanks Ray 👍

Happening on Windows 11 wih FSX Steam as well, and yes after some Windows update.

 

There is a Windows registry tweak that stops Windows 11 feature updates. I have been running like that since prior to the horrid 25H2 mess. You still get all the other security and driver updates but avoid problems like ChasePlane and Aerosoft aircraft being borked. Once you have everything working take a system image backup so you can always go back. This also applies to GSX as every update breaks something.

@simfan1983, sounds interesting. Maybe post a separate topic with the instructions and I’ll pin it.

Might be best in the Windows 11 forum.
