I have the FSX SP2 installed in Windows 10 been working flawless for many years and suddenly it started CTD.
Since 2 or 3 days ago after loaded FSX and doing nothing else the SIM closes by itself without any message, simply CTD with no apparent reasons. Tried FSX loading again and it looks like a random CTD.
So, I started different things to isolate finding the file giving the CTD.
I renamed to Off the files: dll.xml, exe.xml, scenery.cfg and wxstationlist.BIN
I found from the dll.xml file edited as:
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
the FSX sim loaded just fine.

I installed the FSUIPC last version 4.977 (Registered) and still no success.
I also, found from C:\Windows\WinSxS\ folder, 4 files SimConnect.dll and I copied one file at a time to D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ folder for testing and still no success.
