I've tried to load it four times, now, and each time I get dumped to desktop about three seconds after the home screen loads. First time I tried it since loading NVidia 461.40 drivers a week or two ago, but I wouldn't think that would cause a problem. Kinda ticks me off, more so today because my son is traveling and I was going to shadow his flights.

Is it after an update? Regardless, you could try deleting the cache. I've heard that sometimes the cache after an update can interfere with correct functionality, as it retains elements from before the update that might have changed but are still "old".

How long since you last ran the game? Is it up-to-date with respect to patches etc.? Are you running the Steam version or did you get it directly from the MS shop? I got mine on the MS shop and I remember having some trouble with account creation/recognition that also caused such starting issues. Had to mess with XBoxLive and some Microsoft Store App; don't think there are similar problems running from Steam... Regarding the caches, I'm pretty sure he means the rolling and manually asigned terrain caches that you can load/pre-load upfront for locations of your special interest. As I put mine on a separate SSD, I can't tell you where the default locations are...

MicroSoft Store. Been a couple weeks and I guess there's a world update that I didn't get (last updated about four or five weeks ago...US stuff). Haven't gotten anything else for it. The only thing that's changed since I last ran it was that I installed new drivers for my video card.

I'm on the test team. Last week Microsoft had a major crash of their AZURE servers. This has thrown the sim into turmoil, in all kinds of way.
Add-ons from the Store are not installing.
The Marketplace has not been showing.
Marketplace content is crashing the sim.
Not all aircraft are downloading to your computer.
In other words, a major PITA at the moment. Even tonight, I had to do a reinstall and it's not complete. And the elements that are not installed are refusing to come down. There is supposed to be a major update for England tomorrow, but I wouldn't count on it at this time.
Also, not well known, but caused me major issues, please be aware of this:
If you have the STEAM version of the sim, please do NOT, under any circumstances do an Integrity Check of your game. If you do this, it will erase the entire program.
ASOBO is blaming STEAM, and STEAM is blaming ASOBO, But so far there is no fix for this, so please be aware guys.
Cheers,
Andrew.
Kindest regards,
AJ

I've heard that sometimes the cache after an update can interfere with correct functionality, as it retains elements from before the update that might have changed but are still "old". I heard this too. I had some CTD´s last week but it was due to Carenados Mooney not getting along with Air Hauler 2. Switched to the default Caravan C208 and all went good then. Havent flown this past week, Iam waitting for the UK update. Red

Yesterday I tried starting it through the Microsoft Store, WhoCares. It automatically took me to the option to update (which never happened when I launched from desktop). 21.9GB. Got to 97%, 21.41GB, and stalled. Froze as solid as everything outside my house is right now. Locked up tighter than my ex-wife's...heart. Had to use Task Manager just to close it. Rebooted the computer, went to MS Store again, said I needed another 1.1GB download, so I did that. then it loaded up with what I assume is a picture of the Thames instead of the badlands of Utah or wherever that splash for the USA update was supposed to be. Got to the main menu and.........CTD again.
I think I'm just going to uninstall/reinstall the whole thing.

And it's working. You won't believe what the problem was. I still have trouble believing it. And it's something that went through my mind the very first day, it just took me a week and doing a complete reinstall to get desperate enough to try it.
The new video drivers.
No sh*t. The very first day I thought, "The only thing that's changed is that I updated the video driver. I wonder if that somehow is causing the problem?" Then I thought, "Nah! It couldn't be that!", especially since I'd been running Wings Over Flanders Fields successfully for days. But Monday, out of sheer "What's the worst that could happen?", I decided to try reverting back to the 457.30 version (fortunately I always keep my old drivers just in case) and lo and behold it's working again.
So the next question is: is anyone else using the 461.40 drivers on a 980ti video card successfully?

Glad you got your trouble sorted! There is a thread on the forum about the 461 drivers and performance issues, but none with your troubles. I only sporadically update drivers once or twice a year - if things run stable I don't trouble myself to much with this stuff. Considering that I have a 1080, two generations in the past. I don't expect to much benefit from updated drivers for those, as I think they will focus more on current and maybe last gen cards with driver updates... Sure, they might also add some general app/game specific settings/improvements beneficial for my card in CP2077 or now in MSFS2020, but ah well...
