I purchased a new Graphics card per Microsoft's suggestion and the problem still exists. When I place the mouse on Flight Simulator X Program icon at the bottom of the screen the graphics appear in the icon which it done before with the original graphics card. I am beginning to believe that it is not a graphics card issue but definitely an issue with the Windows 10 operating system.
Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Windows 10
I installed Windows 10 and the only program that does not work correctly is Microsoft Flight Simulator 10. I was told by Microsoft that my Intel 4400 graphics card is the problem and by Intel that they do not have a Windows 10 driver for the Intel 4400. What are the least expensive graphic cards that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Windows 10?

2015-08-10T02:15:24+00:00 After installing Windows 10 FSX is the only program not working properly. When I try to end a flight or save a flight the screen goes blank when I press the Esc key but will come back on when I press the Esc key again. The only way to end the flight is to go to the task manager and end the program. Also there is no mouse pointer on the screen to operate the flight controls.

To the community:
For the third time I contacted Microsoft Support and this time they fixed the problem. I asked the tech to send me the step by step information that he performed, but I have not received it to let the community know. He ran a Microsoft scan that finds and fixes errors. I do not know if I really needed the new graphics card, but now that the program works, I'm not returning it.
To those of you that have issues with the mouse not working the flight instruments, I do not have that problem. The program is fully functional with Windows 10. I suggest if you have problems to contact Microsoft Support. My case number is 1299988518 which should tell the technician that you contact how they fixed my problem.
