Microsoft has swiftly released an urgent out-of-band update, designated as KB5070773, to tackle a pesky bug in Windows 11 that has been causing USB input devices, such as mice and keyboards, to stop functioning within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This glitch emerged in the aftermath of the KB5066835 security patch earlier this month, impacting devices operating on Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, as well as Windows Server 2025. The company’s quick response aims to restore normal functionality and ensure a seamless user experience.
