Hello All -
I am having an issue with MSFS and hopefully someone can assist me.
Like so many people, I am having constant CTDs. These happen at various different times during loading and/or flight. I want to completely uninstall the sim from my computer and have a clean re-install. However, every time I remove and re-install, the sim returns to exactly where I was before I uninstalled. For example, after a CTD, at which time I fire up the sim again, I come to the message page that acknowledges that my last session ended improperly, and asks me if I want to proceed in "safe mode" or "normal mode". It does not matter what I choose, the sim merely crashes again.
At this point, I exit the sim and perform what I believe to be a complete uninstall. I remove MSFS 2020, plus the files and folders associated with the sim. I perform a re-install and wait the better part of 4 hours for this to complete. I then fire up the sim, and guess what? It returns me to the error message that I indicated above - the choice to proceed in safe or normal mode. Obviously, the sim did not completely uninstall, as it remembers where I was before I initiated the uninstallation, and returns me to this error message - and the whole cycle repeats itself again.
I am guessing that I am failed to remove a hidden folder or file somewhere which therefore results in not a "complete" uninstall. Or there may be another reason this is happening that I am not aware of.
Can someone help me with this? I would very much appreciate any assistance.
Best regards,
Kevin MacDonald
