Transfering to FSX Steam

I launch FSX Steam, and the FSX Steam screen shows up, but once the FSX music plays, the screen disappears! But the music is still going. Can't do anything now regarding trouble shooting this problem.

FSX:Steam sometimes does that, you can usually bring it back by pressing Alt+Enter to exit from Full screen mode, maybe using also CTRL-TAB to first bring in focus its window. I think it's somewhat related to the fact FSX is mostly a DirectX 9 application, and doesn't play nice with modern video drivers, which are all optimized for DX11/12.

I was able to get FSX Steam back, but when I download GSX, it gets hung up at the installation phase and does not install. I waited for hours to see if anything would happen until I finally just went ahead disconnected it. (See attached). This was my second attempt and it just sits there at the install stage for hours.
Update: I used my registration certificate and it stated it was now "Active", I also used the Full Installer and this time it did not get hung up, but there is still nothing in my FSX Steam add on for the download. I don't what else I should do. Am I missing a step? I felt like I have done everything there is.

I have come to the conclusion perhaps FSdreamteam products are not compatible with the latest version of Windows 10 for FSX Steam. I seemed to have tried everything.

All FSDT installer are fully compatible both with the latest Windows 10 version, and FSX:Steam.

You are not supposed to have anything in the Steam folder, every file related to the product will always be installed in the Addon Manager folder, and the installer will just modify the FSX.CFG to add paths for the extra Simobjects added and the DLL.XML and EXE.XML files to have the two modules starting automatically with FSX.

If the installer completed with no errors, there are no reasons why it wouldn't work. But now you haven't said what the problem is: again the black screen ? Does FSX starts now ? Do you have the Addon Manager menu and the GSX menus there ?
Cfoley:
I have the addon manager in FSX Steam menu bar, but the only thing in it is FSUIPC and Level-D 767, even though the 767 is not in the selection of aircraft in FSX Steam to chose from. No FSdreamteam add-ons are there. I tried the universal installer and the full installer. But in FSX Steam, none of the addons are there when I open it up in the Add-on Manager. The only add on aircraft are the QW757's, but I am having issues with that too because, I forget the what it is called, the little screen in the cockpit, is black with an the word green "Error" message on . I have been in touch with QW forum about it, but so far nothing seems to help with that issue either.
I wanted to just stay with just FSX, not Steam, but my FSX discs would not install in my new Windows 10 computer. I had Windows 7 with FSX before Windows 10 and everything worked fine. A friend suggested getting FSX Steam would work better in Windows 10, but I am finding out that is not the case for me, FSX Steam loaded okay, but that's about it.
