Microsoft GameInput Application Reconfiguration Crashes Win 11 PC

Anonymous

When playing any of my games launched through Battle.net my entire PC will crash, when checking the Reliability Monitor 100% of the time the crash is preceded by a "Successful application reconfiguration" of Microsoft GameInput. I have zero need for GameInput and for what I play I have no issues when I uninstall GameInput, but Microsoft forces the install each time my computer restarts.

I've looked for this issue an is appears it started for users with Windows 10 but there's no solution ever found. Microsoft support has people check their drivers, etc (all of my drivers are up to date and Windows is fully up to date) but no actual solution is offered. As far as I'm concerned I own my computer and should be able to determine which services I do or do not have installed on my PC but Microsoft is forcing this buggy install and I am unable to delete or otherwise modify the root folder this application is contained in.

I'm desperate for some sort of solution to this problem and it would be great if Microsoft would fix whatever this issue is. Having to remember to uninstall this app every time I want to play a game on my gaming PC is frustrating.

    Please come back if you find a possible solution and then explain how to proceed in more detail!

    Still, at least in my case the upgrade of the BIOS to AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.7 & sound chip drivers solved completely the issue of GameInput App & Services.

    Nothing new, also other XBox components crash on update randomly... This can't be fixed: it's a bug by Microsoft in the update process (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft GameInput\x64\gameinputsvc.exe c0000374 Heap Corruption) clearly with low pri for them. When auto-updating it will simply crash randomly, 'till MS will finally fix it one day.

    In the meanwhile I will try with the following compatibility fix (using Microsoft Compatibility Administrator tool), let's see if it will work:

    Been getting crashes for a few months now, with the GameInput reconfiguration message coinciding every time to the second. Glad to see Microsoft's as on-top of things as ever.

    I have had several (daily) encounter with this error with GameInput Service and Game Input App, especially when exiting from suspension and hybernation. My system is based on a MSI MoBo (MS-7A38), a Ryzen 5 2600 6 cores CPU and a Windows 11 22H2 OS.

    The issue has been resolved after upgrading the BIOS to the newest version (in this case 7A38vBG).

    After BIOS flashing, no more occurrence of the errors have been reported.

    Perhaps even for other users might be useful to consider an update of the pc firmware.
