    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.

Damn you Microsoft!

Well the latest Windows 10 update has caused a problem with FSXSE with an error which crashes the whole sim namely "Error Creating child window" Which means that's my fun over for the weekend. Especially anbnoying as I was just getting into using and learning ChasePlane. Apparantly it only affects 32bit FSXA and FSXSE & P3Dv3. Makes the sim unplayable, the moment you try ands access a 2D window like radios etc .... blam! goodnight Irene.
Apparantly they will fix it in November.
 
The new Windows 10 build has 120 processes running, before any software is opened. I'm OK in the sim, but have memory leaks and crashes in Photoshop and 3D Studio.
 
71 files of svchost.exe - yikes!
4 of Steamweb Helper.exe
6 of RunrimeBroker.exe
11 of Chrome.exe
 
Unfortunately I have the free version of Win 10. No control on updates, so when I do receive the latest update, I will hope for the best. NC

Hey NC, does that include the trick where you set your internet connection as a "metered" connection? Just thinking.
 
For the child window problem,
try settings\Game DVR\record in background while I'm playing a game OFF.
The same with the record audio switch.
 
Microsoft is dragging all of us kicking and screaming into the future...fortunately it hasn't messed up my P3Dv4.1...yet
 
Restore to a point before the update, set connection as metered. It will snivel about updates, but will not download them unless told to.

Took a look see there, it was off, so maybe the default setting as I have never tinkered with that ...... knowingly.
 
Isn't the problem about "child window" creation generally related to video driver updates and the necessity to delete the shaders ?
Is your FSX launched with the option "run as administrator" ?
 
The more they go forward ( or aft ? ) the more they spread problems. If is this they call progress...
 
A picture is worth a thousand words...

Updated my Radeon graphics...... FSXSE still crashes with the child window problem. Odd thing is it still records the flight in the logbook OK. Sometimes still crashes in flight when accessing the ATC or Radio .... but not always. P3Dv4 - No issues.
 
'wushowhide'

Took control over updates after 1607 'took over' my laptop by sneaking in the back door.
Now, when 1703's approach and knocking on the back door, suddenly became loud banging, I got wushowhide.
Now have no more surprises, and a very smooth running W10 laptop.
My desktop simulator machine is still running Windows 7.
