Microsoft has swiftly released an urgent out-of-band (OOB) update, identified as KB5070773, to tackle a pesky bug in Windows 11 that rendered USB input devices, such as mice and keyboards, non-functional within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This glitch emerged following the deployment of the KB5066835 security update earlier this month and has impacted systems operating on Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, as well as Windows Server 2025. By issuing this emergency patch, Microsoft aims to restore normal functionality and ensure users can navigate the recovery environment without any hitches.
