So I've had Microsoft gameinput uninstalled because it causes lag and disconnection with my controller and headset. Ive kept it uninstalled by putting an empty file called microsoft gameinput in program files to keep it from reinstalling. So the problem is that bedrock Minecraft is now requiring that I have it installed to play the game. I cant use controller or keyboard and mouse without it but it again lags and disconnects when installed. Does anyone know of a workaround?

    Unfortunately, the context provided does not contain specific information on how to play Minecraft without Microsoft GameInput. However, it is important to note that Microsoft GameInput is required for input handling in certain applications, including games like Minecraft Bedrock Edition. If you are experiencing issues with lag and disconnection when using GameInput, you might want to explore the following general troubleshooting steps:

    1. Update Drivers: Ensure that your controller and headset drivers are up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause connectivity issues.
    2. Check Game Settings: Look for any in-game settings that might allow you to adjust input configurations or performance settings.
    3. Compatibility Settings: Try running Minecraft in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows, which might help with performance issues.
    4. Disable Background Applications: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background that might be using system resources.
    5. Reinstall GameInput: If possible, try reinstalling Microsoft GameInput and see if there are any updates or patches that might resolve the lag issue.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consult forums or support communities specific to Minecraft for further assistance.
