    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Close down problems "today"

You would think that there has been enough time to fix the issue by now.

late to the party
Updated my sim today after not having used it for a couple of weeks. Having the same issue now.
 
The only way to close MSFS 2020 is through the Task Manager. Right-click the Task Bar and open Task Manager, hightlight MSFS 2020 and click End Task.
 
Even after using the taskbar to close it, I've found that there's still something active somewhere. I was making an update to a plane a couple of weeks ago, and the only way for the change to register was to restart my PC.
 
Advised (by Microsoft) to uninstall and reinstall both the 'Gaming Services' and 'XBox' apps - and it worked, for precisely one session! Now back to task manager each time.
 
Tom, I noticed that in that same situation if I go back to the Task Manager and scroll through the active programs there is a "Flight Simulator", "XBox" and "Gaming Services" still running as well and I don't think they show if the Sim closes normally.

Gaming services do show, even for us Steam users. I think it's the X-Box service.

I'll have to check that next time I need to make tweaks. I have a couple of SimMarket updates waiting to be downloaded, and one of those is a plane that has baked registrations. I've repainted one of the liveries with my normal "N721TC" and then I add an extra entry into the cfg file instead of trying to package it as an addon.
 
same here - there have been updates to the sim but so far this is an ongoing problem for no good reason...
 

Word is it has been resolved in the upcoming SU16 for MSFS 2020.
