Mystery notice in sim

[ecorry]

Hello, when loading the sim i always see a little square notice saying that " ANOTHER COPY OF THE SIM IS ALREADY RUNNING"? i can click on OK or X to close it out. The sim still continues to load! After many updates, uninstall and reinstalls , even moving to a new computer (albeit on the same network as the old PC) it is still there. after a fortune in 4, count em, four $$$$ different sets of controls that never seem to work i still cannot get it solved. despite numerous back and forth emails to the various companies of my controllers seem to not get in touch with he aircrafts. Anyway, i was WONDERING if this notice had anything to do with my inability to get the controllers running or operating smoothly. and oh yes, i see in my windows 10 that the controllers are working according to thrustmaster in this case. Can someone shed light on this please?

It happens to me when I click to open it more than once.. Are you double clicking?

That’s just what I was thinking too

I have the sim in my Taskbar which allows a single click. However, from time to time, I click on it and don't see anything for a few seconds, and I will click it again thinking it is not running. I get the already running message then too :)

ok all the replies makes sense to me! I will pay more attention to the sim's start-up. I was not aware that I was "double clicking". there is a pause in the start=up which makes this entirely possible to do. thanks so much for the information and tip. now about the controller issues I really must press on as the enjoyment of the sim is spoiled with crashes.
