I thought I would pass on some news concerning Windows 10.
I recently had an update for Windows 10 and it was another major update as you PC restarts several times during the process,
After it finished the update I tried to launch FSX (BOXED VERSION) and was surprised when I got a message stating it was not Activated.
I said what!!! but sure enough there was no multiplayer selections available which is a sure sign that it is not activated.
I tried the repair option but no good, So I had no choice but to uninstall and reinstall FSX.
Than I discovered there was some major changes made There was no longer a control panel in the menu and the way that the uninstall works now is really different.
Than I had another shock as FSX was not listed to be uninstalled. I than tried Revo uninstaller and it was not there either, so I wound up putting in disk 1 of FSX and chose the remove option which did the trick
I now have FSX up and running again But be care full when applying this update as it could do the same thing to anyone.
I have no idea as to why it did this
By the way FSX was not installed anywhere on my C drive it was and still is on my B drive
it is my under standing Windows 10 will update everyone's system over the next few days. no idea as to how you can prevent this from happening but you might want to back up any scenery airplanes missions or any thing else on FSX before you run the update.
