Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Microsoft GameInput. Product Version: 10.1.22621.1011. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation crashes PC

Any solutions known? I've looked and nothing has worked so far but they are old posts. This has been a problem for years now and the muppets at microsoft have done **** to fix it.

    I've tried the full on window's re-install and you're right, it didn't make a difference.

    I'm curious, how does one look up kernel errors or issues? Where do I look for these types of issues. I want to see if my timings match up too.

    Hey

    Yes, have Xbox installed - although when I had uninstalled it I was still getting the crashes. No ds4windows, but I do have steam.

    Just had my Bi-daily too...

    Just a little more info for you all. My time on the PC is largely spent on Teams calls during the day and so this is when the "reconfiguration" tends to occur; I have noticed that just before it happens I have issues with my Logitech USB C webcam. I can see the image in LogiCapture, but Teams refuses to pick up on the feed despite cycling inputs and whatnot. Then, about 2 mins into the next Teams call, the computer resets... I only notice this behaviour just before a gameinput BSOD, it doesn't occur at any other time.

    I've also found a kernel error which related to "failed USB enumeration" at the same time as a gameinput reconfig.

    I haven't tried a Windows reinstall but apparently that doesn't even solve the problem? That's a bit worrying!

    Just had my bi-daily bsod reboot earlier today as well. No input from Microsoft yet either.

    I'm seeing similar timeframes for my updates as well. These don't seem to respect the windows update schedules, so unfortunately that doesn't seem to help.

    A couple more common points to check: do you all have the Xbox app installed/setup? If so do you have any alternative controller drivers installed? (steam/ds4windows/etc)

    I can report I have the same exact problem. Win11, Ryzen 9 5950x, x570i, rtx 3070m brand new 140mm AIO. I've re-installed windows, I've cleaned up sfc and just about everything else I can think of. Does anyone know if you can schedule this update to another time of day? It seems to want to update twice a day (9am-ish and 4pm-ish) and when it does - green screen. Oh and often this happens when I'm not even at my machine so don't think it's a workload issue. Get back and *poof* work gone. Unless it just updates gameinput every time my machine restarts and this is a wild goose chase. Anyone who knows how to fix this or at least work around please help.

    Thought I had it nailed.

    Disabled C States via BIOS and had 3 whole days without an issue... then this just now:

    Image

    Turns out the three days grace were simply because gameinput and gameservices hadn't been able to install for some reason... as soon as they did - pop!

    Upon restart I was greeted with "gameservices has been updated, click to see what's new" :-/

    For the love of god Microsoft, fix this!!
