Hello

The error you're seeing, Event ID 1008 from the Microsoft-Windows-Perflib source, indicates that the "WmiApRpl" service in the DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiaprpl.dll" failed to start because the device is not ready. This can prevent performance data for this service from being available.

 

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

 

Check for Updates: Ensure that your Windows and Microsoft Flight Simulator are up to date. Sometimes, updates can fix compatibility issues.

 

Repair or Reinstall the Game: Go to the Xbox app, find Microsoft Flight Simulator, and select the option to repair or reinstall the game. This can fix corrupted files that might be causing the crash.

 

Check System Files: Run the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type sfc /scannow.

 

Update Drivers: Make sure all your drivers, especially your graphics card driver, are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause crashes.

 

Disable Overclocking: If you have overclocked your hardware, try disabling the overclocking settings. Overclocking can sometimes cause instability.
