Windows 10: Gaming Services unexpected termination, complete pc freeze.

So when playing league of legends the other day, my pc weirdly froze up, i could still hear my music but my second monitor went black and everything was unresponsive. So i was forced to reboot, event viewer showed me that the critical error wad gaming services being terminated randomly.This has never happened before, two things i recently installed that could have caused the issue is a new AMD driver update for my gpu, and a automatic recordong software to capture highlights.Btw this freezup happened twice in the span of 2 days which tells me that it is an actual problem and not just a random

Microsoft Gaming Services causing freezes in other games with xvd drivers

I also have this issue. Playing Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, or other non-Xbox games I'll frequently encounter "double hitches"--a 1-2 second freeze followed by 1-2 seconds of accelerated gameplay followed by another 1-2 second freeze--that coincide with "Disk n was surprise removed" events in the Event Viewer.

I've spent a lot of time troubleshooting it and found that I can workaround the problem for non-Xbox games (e.g. Steam games) by doing these steps. BUT, this workaround causes Xbox games to become unlaunchable. Do these steps at your own risk.

1. In Device Manager, enable "Show hidden devices".
   
2. Find the XVDD SCSI Miniport device under the 'Storage Controllers' group
   
3. Disable the XVDD SCSI Miniport device.
   
4. Restart the PC.
   

To restore Xbox games to working order, you'll need to re-enable the XVDD SCSI Miniport device, which isn't as easy. Follow these steps:

1. In Device Manager, enable "Show hidden devices".
   
2. Find the XVDD SCSI Miniport device under the 'Storage Controllers' group. Observe that if you right-click it, there is no "Enable" command listed.
   
3. Keeping Device Manager open, start the Microsoft Store application, then try to browse to the XBox app. Observe that a page showing the Xbox app starts to load, but seems to load indefinitely.
   
4. Now quickly return to Device Manager and wait for the XVDD SCSI Miniport device's icon to become enabled. When this occurs, right-click it and choose "Enable this device". (Note that enabling the device will not reinstate Xbox game functionality until you restart.)
   
5. Restart the PC.
