Windows 10: Updating latest "Gaming Servives" via Microsoft Store resulted in blue screen

This happened after a fresh boot and searching for updates. My first blue screen this year.

gameflt.sys is the culprit.

I want to warn you to have nothing important running when doing the latest update.

Using games from the microsoft store

Based on the results you've obtained, this can be an issue with the Windows Store which affects the digital games you’ve downloaded from it. We suggest manually resetting the Windows Store cache. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog box.
• Type WSReset.exe and click OK.
• The Store and a command prompt will now open with any message. The command prompt will automatically close after the Store's cache has been reset.

Once done with the reset, kindly click this
link and follow the steps on how to check for updates for apps and games from Windows Store. Search if there are any updates available for the affected game.

Keep us updated with the progress.
