Copter in SITL is spinning (yawing) after takeoff

ArduCopter Copter 4.4

I am running SITL and the copter starts to yaw nonstop after takeoff. I restarted the SITL multiple times and I see the same issue.

In WSL, I ran “sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter”. In the command line, I typed “mode GUIDED”, then “arm throttle”, then “takeoff 10”

My copter takes off yawing (spinning). After it reaches the specified altitude, it continues to yaw nonstop.

I encountered the same issue with Airsim SITL. Typed “sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter -f airsim-copter --console --map”. The drone in Airsim also start to yaw nonstop after it takes off.

Update: I reinstalled everything and no issues now.
