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.

agree with other commenters that the gameinput thing happens after rebooting, not before crash.THAT BEING SAID... unplugging my Xbox controller from my pc stopped the crashes. Not sure if it was a problem with the controller or that usb port idk idk

2023-12-05T20:40:41+00:00 Pretty pissed off Microsoft. Your POS GameInput crashes my PC all the Fing time!!!!. I'm sick of this ****. Fix your Fing software!!!! I don't even have to be doing anything for the GameInput to reconfigure crash. Reliability report tells you all you need to know, GameInput is the problem. I even have the service disabled and it still is crashing my PC. Hate windows, do your dang job and fix it!!!
