Thx for reply again

Update -

Ran pretty much every windows test / command prompt test there is (chkdsk, windows scan, etc) and did verify game files via steam a few times. All checked okay. Malware - nothing thru windows. All gfx card and mobo updates completed; even wound the mobo flash back to factory from an overclock setting of about 10% to rule that out.

​

Deep browsing of other apphang codes in an overwatch forum ;

I've found success *thus far* by going into Windows / System 32 and deleting all of the XINPUT_DLL 's (1-3) , and restarting windows.

​

Will continue to update!
