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

Microsoft recently released an urgent out-of-band (OOB) update, identified as KB5070773, to tackle a pesky Windows 11 bug. This glitch had been causing headaches by disabling USB input devices, such as mice and keyboards, 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, as well as Windows Server 2025. With this new update, users can breathe a sigh of relief as their essential peripherals should function seamlessly once more.
