Microsoft fixes Windows 11 bug that disabled mouse and keyboard in Recovery Mode

Microsoft recently issued an urgent out-of-band (OOB) update, identified as KB5070773, to fix a critical Windows 11 glitch that was causing USB input devices, such as mice and keyboards, to stop functioning within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This problem emerged following the deployment of the KB5066835 security update earlier this month. It has impacted devices operating on Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, as well as Windows Server 2025. This swift response from Microsoft aims to ensure users can continue to access and interact with recovery tools without disruption.
