### Simulator Version

MSFS 2024

### Operating System

Windows 11

### Description of the Issue

I have a full subscription to Navigraph, without problem for many months. Today, after downloading a new flight from Simbrief, I could not get the moving map to work. On clicking the triangle, a message was received saying Simlink not connected. When I opened Simlink from the W11 App area it said Simlink was already running.I have tried closing Navigraph Charts and MSFS and reopening, but same problem. May just be a coincidence but there was a W11 update I think last night. Rob (my Simlink version is 1.1.41.1805)

Hi…,

Welcome.

This is likely a connection issue with your system.

Please look at what has changed since this was working normally, e.g., Windows updates, antivirus updates, router updates, new software etc.

The current version of Windows 11 is

Try restarting your router, disconnect from any VPN, disable antivirus and firewall as a test, check that your Windows time is synced to local real time, and connect to the internet via a mobile hotspot.

If no joy, please upload the latest logs from %appdata%\Navigraph\Simlink\logs\

Cheers

Thanks,

Another reboot of Windows seems to have done the trick.
