Problem with GSX 2.9.4 | Only works once after LiveUpdate

The OP reported he couldn't start the sim a 2nd time without having the SIM freezing, which was eventually fixed by running the FSDT Live Updater.

No. The Sim works fine. It did not crash.
1. I ran liveUpdate (new version installed)
2. I opened P3D. GSX works fine (called for catering etc.)
3. I "reset position" withing the GSX menu
4. GSX won't respond anymore.
After I close P3D (normally, no crash) and open P3D again, GSX STILL won't respond.
Only when I run LiveUpdate again, GSX starts working again (but the whole above problem starts again).

The wrong compatibility settings which are set by Windows are NOT visible, unless you edit the registry.

Couatl64_P3D.exe closes normally here and, nothing in the latest update could possibly change anything related to that. If the simulator itself crashes for other reasons, it's possible it might have Couatl not closing automatically, because if the Simconnect communication with the sim is interrupted abruptly, that's likely to happen.
First, try to wait a bit if the Couatl64_P3D.exe closes itself automatically, since it DOES have a safety mechanism that should kick in when the sim crashes for other reason and should be able to close itself, perhaps taking a bit longer.
If it really doesn't close, just terminate it with the Task Manager and see if it works on the next restart. That would be another explanation why it was "fixed" by the Live Updater, because another thing the updater does, is to be sure Couatl it's not running when you start the update.

Just tried, this doesn't work either.
When I terminate the process and run P3D again, GSX ist still unresponsive (no pop up menu etc.).
The process "couatl64_P3D.exe" is starting with P3D though.

Have you disabled the messages in the top green bar ?
When you reset the position, you should have seen the message "Airport cache loaded successfully", which indicates GSX is ready but now, with the messages disabled, I can't tell if it failed to restart of you just disabled the messages.
