capnlou Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 As quite a few flight simmers found out after the Microsoft Windows Security Updates on 9/8/2015 found out, there is a fatal error where you get an "Access denied" flag and message to log in as an administrator and try again when launching FS9, even though you are the administrator. After many days of looking around I found a fix that worked for me in the Microsoft Community Forum. Here it is below: Summary In addition to the changes that are listed for the vulnerabilities that are described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-097, this security bulletin addresses a defense-in-depth update for the secdrv.sys driver, a third-party driver. The update turns off the service for the secdrv.sys driver. This may affect the ability to run some older games. To learn more about the vulnerabilities, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS15-097. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/please-login-as-administrator-and-try-again/feee321a-6b30-4813-91da-b56a57488244?page=2&auth=1 The culprit is update KB3086255 published on Sep 8 2015. Delete this from your installed updates in the Windows Update utility in your PC and then re-start. Be advised to disable the automatic update function in Windows update otherwise the update will re-install on the re-start. You can choose the option to "check for updates but let me choose to download and install them", so you can still get updates for the rest of your system and making sure not to download the culprit again. After doing this FS9 will then launch normally. Fairly easy enough but we'll have to operate like this until Microsoft publishes a patch for the update but most importantly.......is we can fly our simulator again!! Also, for those of you (like me) who don't intend to install Windows 10 on your FS machine and don't want to see that damned Windows 10 upgrade flag in your taskbar, delete this KB3035583 update for Windows 10 free upgrade. This action doesn't seem to have any negative effects on my rig and FS9 is running smooth again, thank god! Cheers and happy flying!!

shanwick Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yes Dijvid, I was so enraged about this problem ?... Yep, a lot of people are. Personally, I have never had the problem as I stopped using Disk 4 shortly after FS2004 was released, and I've never looked back. Dijvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
