Do games stop working in menus yet function properly while playing?
Do games stop working in menus yet function properly while playing?
Do you want to know about the "warning" entry? I can take a screenshot.
This week I’ll be busy, so my responses might be delayed. Thank you for your understanding.
I captured several new screenshots of the tools.
Warnings and error messages appeared.
I installed many games and everything worked fine.
For instance, Returnal faced major issues before the bios update—it crashed completely—but now it runs smoothly.
Other games also functioned without problems.
UPDATE: The game just crashed with this message. Before the BIOS update I had this message everytime I launch the game. Maybe the problem is still the 13th 14th gen Intel ****

CPUs.
DeviceSetupManager.
FYI:
There are several more links about DeviceSetupManager I discovered. I selected this one because it covers Reliability History/Monitor.
Perform your own Google search using "DeviceSetupManager and filter the results to the past year or so.
Check the links you find as they look relevant, but avoid downloading any apps, tools, etc., that claim to solve the issue. Also steer clear of Registry changes and similar actions.
The goal is just to read with the aim of finding another clue or symptom to help pinpoint the root cause before fixing it."
And everything appears normal unless Dark and Darker is installed - correct?
Hello everyone! It looks like the easiest fix worked perfectly. I performed a fresh Windows setup and the issue disappeared.
I didn’t reinstall the game (Dark and Darker) because it was already on another drive. I spent about 15 minutes navigating the menu, played a match, then another 10 minutes in the menu, played yet another match, and left it for another 10 minutes—still no crashes.
I’m not sure about the other games, but it’s 2:35 AM. Thanks to both of you for your support! Sorry for the bad words. You’re amazing on the internet!
I believe everything will be resolved now. If there are any further issues, I’ll let you know.
NOT FIXED: The problem continues. I’m really frustrated. Could this indicate a Windows Update issue?
I’ll attempt another clean installation and see if the game crashes without updates.
Hello once more, as I expected the issue stems from a Windows update. I've performed a fresh installation and halted all updates. Darker and darker no longer causes crashes. Post-update, the game stops working. One of the following updates is likely responsible.
I plan to install Windows 10 and check if the problem continues.
