Windows Input Experience continuously crashing.
My wife and I are both running computers with Windows 11 installed, however, hers has 2 programs that continuously pop up, and close, without ever opening a window.
This is causing the blue spinning wheel around her mouse to continuously blink on and off even while the computer is sitting idle.
I opened up Task Manager to see if it was something I could find, and what I found were 2 Background Processes, called Windows Problem Reporting, and Windows Input Experience, the two of them constantly blink in and out of running.
Neither of these are running on my PC's Task Manager at all, and I'm not sure why they would be on hers and not mine.
