"GameInput Redistributable" -- What is it, what's using it, how to get rid of it?

I don't necessarily want to uninstall the GameInput Redistributable. What I really want to do is figure out what, exactly, is blocking that update. Microsoft's told us it's blocked because of reasons. But, they've given us no visibility into what those
reasons are (in my case, I'm just guessing it's GameInput Redistributable because it keeps popping up in Reliability Monitor and nothing else in their list seems to apply) or what, if any, progress is being made. For all I know, it's some trivial, unused
thing on these systems. Or, perhaps something that's not being maintained any more and will never be fixed. I really doubt that either of those things apply. But, if MS is going to stick that warning label up in Windows Update, they really need to give
more information.

From the Windows status document I referenced in my OP, it looks like they've resolved the GameInput Redistributable thing. And, the update is now available to me in Windows Update.

I agree with you on that. MS should give some more details as to why and how is Gameinput redistributable responsible for the update block.

I think it's something that is used in some niche services. This is what I found when I looked up on reddit -GameInput Redistributable - anyone know what it is? : techsupport
