Finding support from Microsoft

I've changed my motherboard and had my FSX on a separate hd and now the sim has a side by side conflict. Anyone dealt with this? I spent better part of a Saturday on the Microsoft site and struck out. Have about a decade of work on this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

FSX has not been supported by Microsoft for years now. Your best bet for help is right here!

 

I have not heard the expression "side by side conflict" before, what is happening?

Google search "fsx side by side configuration is incorrect windows 10"

Didn't say if you have FSX installed from DVD or if you have the FSX:SE (steam).

 

It's not too expensive to go grab the FSX:SE. Doesn't it have some Win10 fixes?

Of course Mr. Zippy always has the answer, I should have known that....

 

Petter1, search the web for "Microsoft C++ Redistributables" - download all you find, both the x64 and the x86 versions. Install them all, then run Windows Update, and - important - make sure that under "Advanced options" in Update the switch "Receive updates for other Microsoft products" is set to On. And leave this switch at On in the future. Run the Update until no more updates are found.
