piece of **** windows crashing Game Input reconfigure

seems my bsod are solved bros.

since my last post i had no bsod , i mainly did one thing:

• i found no hard disk bad sector , so nothing to fix there also
• i deleted the sshdpinauthlsa.dll which showed as microsoft but "not verified" file and also some other weird remains of olf stuff from my system that looked odd in Autoruns.

Just popping in here to add to the list of people with issues though mine is slightly different...

I'm not really getting any crashes, or at least not many. I've had 2 different blue screens but they can be explained away by 1. Shortly after making some significant changes in bios - Bluescreen only happens once and then system comes back and seems fine

2. A memory timing issue I had with a specific bios version (works fine when I rolled the bios version back).

However every single day reliability monitor shows GameInput Host stopped working in the critical area, often multiple times a day if my PC has been restarted. However it does not cause any noticeable issues at all. I don't get a BSOD and I can load into the game and play it. So I guess I should consider myself lucky that its just my reliability score that is essentially pinned at the bottom.

Searching the internet it seems this has been an issue for a LONG time and no sign Microsoft will do anything about it. I also get many reconfigure messages most of which it says are successful. It's not apparent if these reconfigures are causing GameInput host to crash or if its something else. I need to monitor the time of these events a little more closely to see if I can determine when they happen e.g. when a game is first loaded, when windows first loads, or when windows first shuts down for example.

guys , check your even viewer logs , in security , do you have loads of audit failures for sshdpinauthlsa.dll ?

if yes , try renaming the file so that the system cannot find it and check if the errors are still happening (Windows\System32\SshdPinAuthLsa.dll)

what i am doing now is testing all my disks for bad sectors. will get back to update once i tried other stuffs! i may reach the point of installing windows 10 back too, but hopeully asus will release a bios update that fixes this, if indeed it is the bios.

i also have a few questions for the others encountering this:

1.do you have a g-sync monitor / tv?

2.do you use dual monitor / tv setup and one does not support gsync?

3.do you use dual monitor tools ?

4. i wonder how many of us here have asus motherboard with intel 12th/13th generation cpus?

I am just tyring to find out what are the common things between our setups , i have a troubleshooting mindset because i work in IT since almost 12 years ago

I actually think for mine it has something to do with the bios too. I'm on a laptop Asus ROG Strix G17, and this only happened after version 328 and 329 bios versions were updated on my device. At the same time, I too, installed windows 11 22H2 from windows 11 22H1. I feel this combination might have caused this issue. I tried clean flashing windows 11 3 times yesterday and all resulted in the same crash when I am on battery power. Lastly, after much frustration, I pulled the trigger and installed windows 10 22H2. For 24 hours, I experienced no crashes in doing daily tasks on and off the battery. However, upon trying to test this theory out, I installed Minecraft Java edition, and viola, gaming services were installed alongside. the moment I plugged out my AC charger, my screen froze. Upon checking the reliability monitor after a hard reset, I get a gaming services has been reconfigured once more. I strongly believe it's a combination of gaming services and my bios update that is causing this. Since I did create a restore point, I will be testing my laptop on battery for a few days to see if it's a repeating problem or if it is just a one-off coincidence.
