Windows 10: Microsoft Gameinput Reconfig is crashing my pc constantly

I have been struggling with this issue for about 2 months now as far as I can remember. My PC, no matter what I'm doing, will cut audio for a few seconds, freeze and then blue screen straight into a restart. After checking the crash logs I discovered that it was in fact Microsoft Gameinput doing its thing and crashing my computer. This will happen MULTIPLE times throughout the day, the most I've had it happen was 10+ times, not an exaggeration. I have tried just about every fix I have searched for online, even tried uninstalling and nothing has worked. Admittedly I haven't updated my BIOS. I'v

Microsoft Gameinput Crashes

Is Microsoft going to patch the crashes caused by gameinput reconfiguring and crashing many peoples devices mid game? Im sure people who pay 15 dollars a month for game pass would like to enjoy their subscription to the service and be able to play on xbox and PC. I guess until then some of us are stuck just playing on steam since Microsoft can't fix and issue that's been around for 2 years. Its gotten to the point where I needed to reinstall windows to be able to even use my computer because I was constantly getting bluescreened from Gaming Services reconfiguring Gameinput.

 

Microsoft GameInput Application Reconfiguration Crashes Win 11 PC

Thank you for the response, unfortunately I didn't receive notification of this response and continued to troubleshoot the issue. I did manage to find my way through the fairly convoluted folder permission/ownership process for Windows 11 and simply renamed the Microsoft Gaming Services folders and then uninstalled GameInput. It appears now that these folders are no longer available for the system to reference GameInput has remained uninstalled and I am no longer having an issue with my computer crashing.

I will also try you suggestions in case some future update re-installs these folders. Thanks again.
