Windows 10: GameInput crashing my pc

Whilst playing games recently my pc has crashed multiple times, after checking the reliability history i see a that microsoft GameInput successfully reconfigures at exactly the same time the pc crashes and creates a critical event notice of windows not shutting down correctly. i have looked online and seen people only having temporary fixes that just get overturned by the next update, but these are all old and i was wondering if is there is now any way to stop game input from reconfiguring? Or a new way to get rid of game input permanently?

Frequent PC crashes associated with GameInput

Hi,

I'm having frequent crashes, and from looking at reliability monitor they are all correlated with GameInput either being installed or reconfigured. The most recent was as I was attempting to write this post for the first time. I have tried using system file checker to repair corrupt system files, but it hasn't resolved the issue. I've tried malware scans except a full scan doesn't complete before the system crashes again.

I'm not certain GameInput is causing this, but some action by GameInput (either installation or reconfiguration) is associated with every single crash, and it's the only event in reliability monitor that is correlated with them. Is there a fix or other troubleshooting measure I can take? From internet searches there are lots of suggestions of removing windows components that will be reinstalled at the next update; that hardly seems practical.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

GameInput by Microsoft

Microsoft GameInput crashes my PC all the time. Every time my PC crashes its always GameInput. This is tracked through windows 11 reliability and problem history. Infact, 19 game crashes in the past month are all GameInput. Its always the same thing, "Microsoft GameInput has successful application reconfiguration. As grand as it sounds, not sure why it says its successful, at what? Crashing my PC?? You got that right. I can sometimes fix this through an command line SFC /scannow, but every time windows updates, it's the same stupid problem. For the love Microsoft, your coding wizards should have had this problem licked. I have seen this on numerous forms as the problem.

Before you ask, yes, all my drivers are up to date via manufacturers website. I'm a gamer and an IT pro, so this is easily step 101. I've tried removing this service and the files associated with it by renaming the file, but it causes a PC reset. Whatever GameInput is supposed to be, its mislabeled, it should be PCcrasher. Sick of this service crashing my PC.
