Must be heaps of W10 users out there who are running Microsoft's FSX Flight Simulator. Those I have spoken to have not encountered any problems, but I do. If I hit <ESC> to terminate a flight the screen goes black and hangs for ever. Only way out is to bring up Task Manager and kill FSX completely. Any ideas anyone?

Have you updated your graphics card driver? 5 years ago that was fix here: http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?268455-FSX-crashes-when-ESC-pressed-Help-please

I don't think i would do the driver suggestion but other might help: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-gaming/fsx-crashes-to-desktop-under-win-81-64-when-using/1e6ab2b5-39a5-41b2-b909-1daf8d9f5e31
