I'm guessing it has to do with software conflict because, I'll pass the additional details over to them.

Probably USB conflict, yes. You might be able to circumvent by plugging into a different USB controller/port, or through a (powered) USB hub, or just plugging your USB device(s) in after Windows has finished booting and loading everything else. Most USB-related problems have to do with power delivery, some have to do with signal bandwidth, both can be resolved by just waiting until Windows is "good and ready" to accept one more device plugged into one more dedicated controller.
Deciphering crash logs can be a bit of an art. It's not always the last item which crashed the system. It's sometimes the previous item or a quirky combination of previous items which caused non-critical faults or didn't install in some "clean" fashion, the faults don't always become evident until after a timeout period or after a subsequent device "causes" them when using conflicting resources.

I often use a Logitech gaming keyboard and Logitech gaming mouse. So I do reluctantly run Logitech Gaming Software, when needed.
It doesn't play nice with Corsair's software when running some hardware combinations, very hit or miss.
I don't have an XBox or any XBox accessories, they just don't appeal to me.
Logitech Gaming Software runs better (with my machines and my Logitech hardware) on Win7x64. It sometimes crashes on Win10 - for no apparent reason and with meaningless errors - I blame the software (equal parts Win10 OS driver handling and Logitech driver software). It sometimes installs itself immediately, within a few seconds on the Desktop, and it sometimes doesn't install itself for minutes (even many minutes). Inconsistent behaviour tells me it's sloppy and buggy stuff, more of an OS-specific hack than an OS-specific build. I don't allow it to update itself - the only time it did so (by default) it managed to cause a BSoD fault, unacceptable since I can count my (unexpected) BSoDs per year on one hand.
I haven't found any way to install standalone drivers for Logitech hardware, it requires the LGS suite for full functionality. But my Logitech devices have onboard memory for storing profiles and settings, so once they're configured I can just plug them in or out or move them between machines without running the LGS any more.
In short, I have low confidence in the quality of LGS, I avoid using it, I install it (in a sandboxed VM, lol) only when absolutely necessary to reconfigure my Logitech hardware profiles. I have even less confidence in Corsair's software, they build (or rather, they brand) some really good hardware but their software sucks. Less bloat to keep the CPU busy, eat RAM, consume OS resources, and clutter up my systray.
