P3D starts automatically

Post by Kjelle »

Hello.

Every time I start my computer also starts P3D. How do I change this? I I close P3D as you should. P3D is not included in the list of autostart in the activity Manager. I have wondows 10.

This is a Windows 10 "feature".
If a process is running when you shut down, Windows starts it automatically.
Solution is to wait a while after closing P3D before shutting down.

You will find the time you need to wait by trial and error.
For me it is between 30 seconds and 45 secs after pressing Exit P3D. I think it depends on how many add-ins that P3D needs to close before it shuts down completely and cleanly.
Out of interest, I have opened the Task Manager and watched the Processes shut down in sequence.

Just wait until the P3D icon disappears from the task bar.
