Microsoft Game Input Host Service

Hello Lunar, how are you doing?

Welcome to the Microsoft community!

I'm glad to be able to assist you at this time.

I understand your concern about the Microsoft Game Input Host Service.

The Microsoft Game Input Host Service is a system service used by Universal Windows Platform (UWP) games and Xbox games to provide input support. It's a critical component for these games to function correctly. Even if you don't use an Xbox controller, this service is still essential because it handles input devices, including your keyboard and mouse.

Moreover, various Microsoft applications, such as the Xbox app and Game Bar, rely on this service to manage input devices. It's a background process that ensures smooth interaction with games and apps.

Importantly, you don't need to worry about privacy or security issues related to this service. It's a legitimate and necessary part of the Windows ecosystem.

However, if you decide to disable it, proceed with caution. Disabling the Microsoft Game Input Host Service might impact the functionality of certain games and applications that rely on it. Before making any changes, it's advisable to weigh the potential consequences against your privacy concerns.

To disable the service, follow these steps:

1. Press "Windows" + "R" to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type "services.msc" and press "Enter".

3. Scroll down to the "Microsoft Game Input Host Service" and double-click on it.

4. In the Startup type drop-down menu, select "Disabled".

5. Click "OK" to save your changes.

*Please note that disabling the Microsoft Game Input Host Service may prevent some games and applications from working properly.

Windows Audio Service is missing after a bluescreen

Hello everyone,

After a bluescreen, my audio (output and input) isn't working at all. When I click on the audio icon, Windows says that Windows Audio service is not enabled and ask me if I want to activate it but it doesn't work.

I've already tried to :

• update audio devices's drivers
• uninstall/reinstall audio devices
• Go to services.msc to restart Windows Audio (but the service is missing, it's just doesn't appear into the list)
• start Windows Audio by command as Admin by using the command net start audiosrv which output with this error :
  
  "A system error 5 happened, access forbiden." (even if I launch it as admin)

Don't know what to do next...

Thanks for your help
