I saw something called ‘Microsoft GameInput’ in control panel earlier and I’m

not sure what it is. It says it’s from Microsoft Corporation. Is this legit? What does it do?

    Hi retrobit64

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Rest assured that Microsoft GameInput is a legitimate process, it is not malware, that service adds support for game controllers and accessories in Windows

    It can be used as a software or malware, But if it is not officially from Microsoft Then you should immediatley delete it, Restart your pc, And disk clean it right off :)

    (I have no clue what dis means)
