Microsoft has swiftly released an urgent out-of-band (OOB) update, identified as KB5070773, to tackle a pesky bug in Windows 11. This glitch had been causing USB input devices, such as mice and keyboards, to become unresponsive within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). The problem emerged following the deployment of the KB5066835 security update earlier this month, impacting systems operating on Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, along with Windows Server 2025. The tech giant’s quick response aims to ensure users can seamlessly interact with their devices during recovery operations, restoring the smooth functionality that users expect from their Windows experience.
