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.

    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

    1. 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.

    I had the same problem, after doing everything indicated in many forums, I couldn't find the request until I could validate that what was causing the conflict was a BIOS update. as a solution I had to downgrade the motherboard is an ASUS G10CE; which is currently in version 314 and the previous version 309. which fixed gameinput issues, blue screens, and unexpected reboots.

    I hope it works for you, excuse my English, but use google translator

    Alright! So far no success with all the above.

    Can you confirm that you tried WindbgPreview and the resulting image name.

    I don't have much time at the moment but my initial research showed WdFilter.sys is often caused by corrupted display drivers, so maybe try a clean install of nvidia/whatever gpu you have

    Uninstall Xbox app through Windows. Uninstall Gameinput through Windows. Uninstall gameservices using the powershell command listed above.

    It means no gamepass, but it's the only thing which has stopped me having daily crashes. Two weeks and counting...
