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?

    Yes, please post that fix ASAP!  I just tried flying tonight for the first time since installing Windows X, and was not able to "see" a mission (although I could hear it after several minutes).  I was, however, able to do freeflight but, again, it took more time than usual to start up.  I'm hoping your fix is OS-related and "universal" for all of us.  THX!

    If they send me as the promised the instructions I will post it.  Your problem sounds exactly like what mine was.  If I do not get it, which its beginning to look like, set up a call with Microsoft Support and use the case number I provided.

    I wish you luck.  I was hoping that the Microsoft tech would send me the email, telling me what scan program he used that fixed it so that I could let the community know.

    All I can tell you is that I upgraded my graphic card per my first contact with Microsoft suggesting I replace my Intel 4400.  I purchased from Best Buy a AMD R7 240 and used the Amazon price, and the program still did not work. I called Microsoft again and after she checked out my computer, she transferred me to another department and during the transfer the system cut me out.  Finally on the third call, I got a tech that was able to solve the problem using a scan program that is part of the Windows system.

    My suggestion is if you want the Microsoft Flight Simulator X program to work with Windows 10, is to call Microsoft Support (I had used the call back feature, which my calls were returned 5 hours later) and give them my case number which was 1299988518 which should tell the technician that you contact how they fixed my problem.

    Guess what?  My MS Flight Simulator X suddenly decided to work - right after I had dutifully downloaded Windows 10 updates.  There was a bunch of them too - and somewhere in those updates MS must have provided some tweaks necessary to run FS.  But before I break out the champagne let's see if it stays fixed.  For the record, I'm running a fairly new desktop system from ASUS, including an Intel 4600 graphics card.  I figured - what the heck - let's max all FS settings, go for a 747, why not a complicated skyline like New York/Manhattan to fly around.  It worked!!!  So far until ...... the next crash on my system?  We'll see.  Stay tuned!
