[RESOLVED] 4.4 does not start, but icon is on app bar....

[maucinti]

Just installed Client 4.4 following all usual directions, but it doesn't start.
The initial window momentarily pops up on the screen, but then it suddenly disappears and nothing runs.
The P3D icon in on the lower bar, as if it's running ...
Obviuosly : Net.4.7.2 is installed on a updated Win10, and yes, I'm starting it as Administrator...
Any ideas ?

Do you have FSLabs airbus installed ? This crushes P3D. If so get the patch for the bus and then should be ok.

Elaine,
Thank you for your kind response.
I passed ALL the steps reported in the posts, but nightmare goes on....
One thing I noticed : unistalling/reinstalling the client (another time!) I don't see the window asking if de-activate or not P3D. Why that ?
Visuals, Net Framework,Direct-X, Core XML, etc... all these are present and updated in my system.
I'd better go fishing ?
Ciao

Hello Maurizio

Do you use the 3rd party Add On "ReShade" ?

Also please have a look in the Windows Event Viewer, Do you see any recent reports here ?

Elaine,
No, I don't know "Reshade" and don't see any intersting report in Event Viewer : actually, I can't say it's "error" or CTD, simply the splash screen disappear after 1/2 seconds while a blank P3D icon stays on bar..... at last I must delete the icon, or alternatively, cancel it from taskmanager.
...wrapped in mystery !....

Got it!
following an advice from a friendly user in Prosim737 forum, I went to a solution.
The problem was generated by the resolution of projected screen in my home-cockpit.
I had to change original resolution 5760x1080 and ....voilà, P3D started with the activation window, then all ran smoothly, as always. after activation I set back 5760x1080 in projectors surround screen.
Why this happened is far beyond my comprehension and knowledge, but most important, now this issue is solved !
Thanks anyway.
