The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this DLL, and it carries a valid signature from Microsoft Corporation. Our history for this signer shows 37 of 37 samples clean. The file is not packed and shows no hostile indicators in the static evidence.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No completed sandbox run is available, so behaviour in the test run is unobserved and the host-reputation check was not completed.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 7 questions people ask most about this file.

Is GamingServicesProxy.dll safe?
We found nothing harmful in GamingServicesProxy.dll. None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. It has a valid digital signature from Microsoft Corporation. Use it only as part of a program you got from the developer's own website.
What is GamingServicesProxy.dll?
GamingServicesProxy.dll is a Windows library (DLL), about 522.7 kB. Its version information says it is “Gaming Services Proxy” (Microsoft Gaming Install Services). The digital signature from Microsoft Corporation checks out. VirusTotal first saw it on Oct 16, 2026.
How many antivirus engines detected GamingServicesProxy.dll?
None of the 71 antivirus engines that checked it flag GamingServicesProxy.dll. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
Is GamingServicesProxy.dll digitally signed?
Yes. GamingServicesProxy.dll has a valid digital signature from Microsoft Corporation, which shows the file hasn't been changed since that publisher signed it. Malware is sometimes signed with stolen certificates, so a signature alone isn't proof of safety.
What is the SHA-256 hash of GamingServicesProxy.dll?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of GamingServicesProxy.dll is c40dad4ecc9566e2b76698bc02247d92df9a563dafa8442a5d0402b7f2bf5c77, and its MD5 is c3b1f471c2bf67d01820521fc5e39449. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to use GamingServicesProxy.dll?
We found nothing harmful in GamingServicesProxy.dll, and its digital signature checks out. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of GamingServicesProxy.dll?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 23, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
