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.

    Another update from me. It's too early to say anything for certain, but I decided to try this again, and I used a powershell command to uninstall Game Services:

    Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

    And I have yet to get a gameinput reboot in over 24 hours. If this continues I'll reopen the xbox app and reinstall the services. I anticipate this will lead to continued crashing. I'll continue to post updates on this, but if anyone else wants to try this as well, the more data points the better.

    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.

    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.

    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.
