Windows 11 Exception Error Linked to RGB Lighting Components

Windows 11 users have been experiencing issues with certain games since a recent update, including game hangs, reboots, and EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION errors. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem and provided a workaround.

The company attributes the issue to peripherals or internal device components with RGB lighting features that install drivers or code components similar to inpoutx64.

Users can prevent the issue by disabling the inpoutx64 driver using the Windows registry. This involves backing up the registry, navigating to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE egistry key, and changing the Start value data to 4.
