Microsoft GameInput Application Reconfiguration Crashes Win 11 PC

Did you do anything specifically to fix it? As ur last post of 17th december mentions you still have the issue.

Maybe I buried the fix in the response. But here's what I did:

1. From Start, search for Services and open as administrator
2. Scroll down to GameInput Service (you may have multiple entries)
3. Select and right-click on properties
4. Select Recovery tab
5. If the response is set to Restart the Computer, change it to Restart the Service
6. click OK, exit Services, maybe reboot for good measure - go back and verify settings

Good luck

I get the crashes even while browsing so it might be whenever the GPU, RAM, or CPU gets utilized at all. I've tried about every fix I came across by now, updating every and all drivers, the duplicate GameInput removal process etc, BIOS update. But the issue still remains, I am likely about to reset Windows 11 and I will report back if its resolved after that.

This may or may not be related to a lot of problems I am reading here, but this thread is where I started. I was also getting the GameInput errors and random freezing. In trying to address the gameinput error, I took all the recommended steps out there, disable service, start isolating the driver issues, pulling out components and adding 1 by 1, mem checks, update BIOS and chipset, troubleshooters, installing Windows multiple times, etc. At some point the gameinput errors went away (someone mentioned the wireless Xbox dongle which I also unplugged, not sure). However, the crashes kept coming. For me it turned out that gameinput was never really crashing my PC, it ended up being a setting in the BIOS related to CPU C-States. This setting was turned to ON at some point and it turns off some unused cores that are not being used. I set it to OFF and all my random crashes went away. Anyway, just be sure that the errors showing up in event viewer/reliability are really what is causing some of these freezes or BSODs. Good luck!

For someone who has just recently experienced this problem, reading all these work arounds is frightening. I don't have any games on my workstation. It's only used for recording in a studio. I use Presonus studio one with a Presonus mixing console plugged into my workstation via a firewire. I'm assuming the computer sees my mixer as a game. I have all the same issues and my reliability report looks like a Christmas tree. Going through all the treads it's hard to try all these solutions. Has anyone actually gotten a real tech from Microsoft to help?
