Question Event ID: 10016

[Ranger_Vet1968]

Ok, so I'm betting most of you have run into this "Event ID" while gaming when it crashes any game, from an old title to the most recent release. I have searched and searched and gone in-depth, trying to fix this one single issue that seems to raise its ugly head no matter what type of fix I make. Does anyone know how I can solve this issue once and for all?

Thank you.

The article is two years outdated and does not address my issues.

Does this happen at any other time other than when playing games?

I assume your OS and drivers are fully updated.

Have you used SFC and DISM to ensure your install of Windows is healthy?

It's 1 year old and refers to win 11. Thought it might be worth a try when it has to do with gameinputservices. It does cause issues for a lot of people when running.

I have implemented the SFC scan, and there are no issues. The Windows installation is healthy. And yes, I have the current drivers for Win 11.

Have you looked at Reliability Monitor for any clues to the problem?

It only happens when gaming. How do I find out about the reliability of my monitor?

In the search widget, just type "reliability". You see something referred to as "view reliability history".

Got it. There are no issues with my monitor. But I have something odd that has blocked or crashed Stalker 2 several times. It's called Corsair iCUE Component. It got so bad that I disabled it from starting with Windows, and I have it disabled now. But it does pop up regularly on reliability and problem history reports.

Uninstall that application and see if things improve.

One other thing. Does anyone understand this? WATCHDOG-20250118-1716.dmp

I have tried and tried to uninstall that program, but my system can't uninstall it.

Can't uninstall iCue?

Likely a driver failure dump file.
