Slow startup

[dwf2008]

Not sure what happened but FSX suddenly takes forever to get started. Once running it seems to work fine but it takes minutes to get going. Might be a windows update, might be too many add-on airplanes, or something else. Does FSX have a startup log that might shed some light on what's going on?

System is

Win10 pro 64 bit

Intel i7

8 gig ram

dual monitor

 

Everything else seems normal.

Thanks

Startup time can be extended by a large `hangar`. How many aircraft are there in your SimObjects folder?

Startup time can be extended by a large scenery folder. What do you have in there?

Startup time can also be extended by a non-optimised HD. Do you have the sim installed on a hard drive, rather than SSD? When did you last defrag it?

 

Once we have this info, we can track deeper into your system.
