July 22, 2025Jul 22 Dear All, My PC was recently upgraded as it was 7 years old, and was struggling at times to run MSFS2020 OK. My first flight went well for an hour, and then I had a CTD. I then had regular CTD's after that - even re-installing MSFS2020 didn't work. Eventually, with a lot of help from the company that did the upgrade (Yate Computing), it turns out that I had two copies of GameInputSvc.exe on my PC, 1 in C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder, and the other in C:\Windows\System32. I deleted the one in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder and I just flew a couple of test flights that worked perfectly. Hopefully, this might be of use to somebody. Best regards, Peter
July 22, 2025Jul 22 Thx for sharing. I asked "Copilot da Silva" and he threw a lot of suggestions at me, including this link: GameInputSVC.exe - How to Fix & Should I Remove It? Apparently the on under (x86) is the most "normal"... Also check this other recommendation from my friend "Copilot da Silva": GameInputSvc.exe Windows process - What is it?
