TL;DR

Microsoft says a Windows 11 update (KB5121003) can cause games to crash or reboot when RGB-enabled peripherals are involved, due to software components with file names similar to inpoutx64.sys. The issue affects three Embark Studios games (ARC Raiders, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and THE FINALS). A workaround circulating in the community involves deleting the Inpoutx64.sys file and cleaning the registry, while Microsoft investigates the exact relationship between RGB devices and the games.”,
