MSFS2020 CTD Solved After PC Upgrade

Featured Replies

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

 

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":

I guess the 2 versions were not identical, otherwise I wouldn't see why the 2nd one would cause a problem.
