piece of **** windows crashing Game Input reconfigure

I haven't been able to pin it down either, other than it frequently happens whenever another windows update occurs. I've even had it occur while the machine was asleep.

Can't remember if this was posted previously by me or someone else.

My settings for how and when my windows updates are not holding. It all started around the same time that I noticed that regardless

of me setting updates to check with me first before downloading the update and again to ask me if I want to do a restart once the update has been installed.

I found that regardless of the setting I put in place if there were any kind of windows update, it would disregard the settings, download and install the update and automatically do a reboot. Thus I had no idea that an update was already dl'ng and installing til it was too late (not that I could stop it anyway)

I've also tried the stop update settings and they don't work either. If I was ever able to stop the gameinput **** at some point shortly after it would still update and reset the gameinput **** thus causing another crash. These types of crashes were random, not game or video related. It's even done a crash while idle overnight.

My findings more or less point to individual settings anywhere being overwritten by any major update. Additionally the smaller app specific updates, like gameinput/services/etc don't seem to be considered "windows updates" in terms of awake hours or specified update times, so these are updated whenever they want, leading to forced reboots during the day (I would love to not have my work interrupted every day between noon and 4pm).

Definitely not optimal and definitely annoying.

Thought I had it nailed.

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

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!!

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.
