Good morning I apologize for the delay I found a resolution to the problem by searching for a recovery backup of the WMI file in question that I had created a month ago. I attempted to restore the file and magically it seems to have returned to normal operation. For safety, I installed an additional 1TB mechanical disk with Acronis True Image software appropriately configured to perform programmed BKs and the possibility, in case of emergency, of recovery boot from USB pendrive. Now I feel a little more confident. PS I looked at the system BK log and found that the problem occurred immediately after installing a security policy update. I hope I was helpful. I thank all of you for the time you dedicated to me

PinballX.inilog.txtGood evening Here are my files. Thanks for your help

ricevo Sorry for my bad English I get this error when I start pinballx. I clarify that no updates were made until yesterday evening everything was working correctly, now when I start pinballx this message appears and remains stuck with the starting logo and gives me no possibility to intervene I just have to close by forcing shutdown Thanks in advance for your advice

Thank you for the time you dedicated to me I think I solved my problem thanks to a suggestion from an enthusiast like us He advised me to simply remove a file from the root directory of PINBALL FX3 The file in question is (graphics.cfg) Now everything seems to work fine cpu level stable from 8 to max 12% Without using Pinaffinity I wanted to share my experience so I could help others PS I don't know how to put this trend as SOLVED

Good morning I just wanted to know if you had the opportunity to look at my .INI file Thanks for the time you dedicate to me

PinballX.ini

Good evening Here is the file you requested

Exact...... "A second restart of Pinballx is required to bring down the CPU to acceptable levels. After the second <restart of PinballX> everything works fine again." Ok let me explain better At the first start of Pinballx excessive CPU consumption At the second start of Pinballx the problem of excessive CPU consumption seems to disappear and everything seems to return to normal If you need an explanatory video to better understand the problem, please ask Thank you for your availability in the answers

It's true the first video just shows the task manager without Doflinx started But I guarantee that I tried on first launch of Pinballx with and without Doflinx started and I get the same result. Doflinx always prefers to start it before everything else

A second restart of Pinballx is required to bring down the CPU to acceptable levels After the second reboot everything works fine again Thank you

This is the video of the second launch of PINBALLX showing the correct functioning I EXPLAIN BETTER 1 I quit PINBALLX completely 2 I wait about 5 seconds until the task manager shows that the PBX has closed completely 3 Restart PINBALLX. As the video shows, the cpu values drop to standard values and it allows me to manage the tables without any crashes Thanks for the time you dedicate to me Video al secondo restart PINBALLX.mp4

Video al primo lancio di Pinnbalx.mp4 Good evening Sorry for the delayThis is what happens on the first Pinnbalx launch I explain better 1 power on CPU 2 I make sure it loads all the operating system 3 Launch task manager 4 Launch Pinballx At this precise point an e block occurs I use the TAB keys to select PBFX3 Only then does everything work properly again

Ok thanks for the special permission Tomorrow I will dedicate myself to showing the problem by publishing the various VIDEO steps of the tests carried out UP TO NOW THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Thank you for your answer right now i tried your advice to edit Setting, general settings, table loading support mode, use playing field images to use folder loading Still no improvement for me. If you allow me, I would like to publish a video of what happens when Pinbalx starts Thanks for the time you dedicate to me

Thanks for your valuable advice At the moment using PinAffinity is the only more balanced solution that allows me to use my cab. At this moment I made the physical copy of all configurations and um BK complete with all SSD The idea is to format a new ssd and reinstall everything step by step starting from a clean system I would like some advice on whether to proceed on this impervious road Thanks for the time you dedicate to me

Answer for Scutter i tried disabling the backglass and presentation dmd completely in pinballx but i get same result I recreated the windows defender antivirus rules but I get the same result The lav filters were already installed but for safety I did it again but i get same Answer for Mike_da_Spike I tried the lite version of pinballX the CPU absorption values drop a bit to about 64% if I reactivate Pinaffinity the values fall within the values described above (14-28% for PinballX and 22% for PFX3) Thank you for the time you dedicate to me

Anyway thanks for your interest

Sorry for my bad English 'It seems that the problem comes from excessive CPU consumption (about 78%) by PinballX'

Good morning Latest updates It seems that the problem comes from excessive CPU consumption (about 78%) by flipperX I checked with Task Manager Obviously when PBX calls a table on PBFX3 the CPU gets to 100% and freezes until Pinballx starts to draw less CPU. Reading some theories I decided to use PinAffinity from mjrnet.org to test The problem seems to disappear in fact the CPU usage miraculously drops between 14-28% for PinballX and 22% for PFX3 thus allowing the correct launch of the tables. How can I check why PinballX process takes so much CPU I would NOT use PinAffinity in the background I accept your kind advice Thanks for the time you dedicate to me

Thanks for the work you do I did some flying tests I answer you have questions about Mike_da_Spike 1st So, the problem only occurs 1 time when fx3 hasn't been started before? The procedure is as follows 1Startup of the CPU 2Starting PinballX 3Starting a random table in PFX3 At this point I detect the black table, the active dmd in PFX3 works, the Pinnballx backglas media working. NEW I tried to carry out Scutter's advice and I pressed ALT+TAB actually I find the black PFX3 table If I move to PFX3 the table starts correctly. 2nd If you restart your PC and start a command prompt (not as administrator) and run the following command "C:\Pinball FX3\Pinball FX3.exe -applaunch 442120 "-table_Alien_vs_Predator" -hotseat_1" When I boot into PROMT command it works perfectly (obviously I don't find the bakglass media since Pinballx is enabled and this is completely normal) I answer you have questions about Scutter 1st It's worth trying with the '-offline' option in the FX3 launch parameters Tried to modify by adding '-offline' in the setting parameters without getting any results 2nd When you have a black screen on the playing field, you can press ALT+TAB and see if you can focus I tried to carry out your advice and I pressed ALT+TAB actually I find the black PFX3 table If I move to PFX3 the table starts correctly. I WILL TRY TO MAKE A VIDEO OF MY PROBLEM I apologize for the time you have dedicated to me and I am very happy for it Thanks everyone for the advice GOOD WORK

Thank you for your answer I explain better When the described problem occurs, all audio and video on the PlayField start button etc. stop only way to return to Pinballx and press the ESC key of my cab

Good morning Excuse my bad english I searched the various trends for a solution to my problem (I like reading and solving problems more) I explain better the problem encountered in the latest update PinballX 5.97 x64 Starting PinballX I choose a random table from my Pinballfx3 collection, at this point it connects to the desired table and starts loading the table. It sometimes goes as far as showing the presentation graphics of the chosen table, then the PlayField goes black, you can't see any graphics or audio, while the DMD and BackGlass continue to work perfectly. At this point I use the Esc button on my >CAB to return to the Pinnballx home screen Then I completely quit Pinballx and restart the program and everything works perfectly If instead I turn off my CPU and then start it again the described problem returns Tried all the features of the pinbal fx3 software AND IT WORKS PROPERLY in its haves Checked LOG.txt and I notice an error (Testing Flash engine. Error initializing flash engine. Please try deleting flash.ocx in the installation folder and then reininstall PinballX. You may need to change security) This error described in the LOG file remains even when everything works fine as described above Tried to reinstall a version PinballX 5.97 x64 the problem persists Uninstalled PinballX 5.97 and installed PinballX 5.96 the problem still remains with the same LOG error PS I ATTACH LOG AND CONFIG FILE Sure in your kind advice log.txt SetupWizard.log XDMDlog.txt PinballX.ini
