Microsoft fixes Windows KB5043145 reboot loops, USB and Bluetooth issues

Microsoft has addressed issues caused by the Windows KB5043145 preview update, which led to reboot loops, system freezes, and failures in USB and Bluetooth device connectivity. Users reported their systems either loading the Automatic Repair tool or entering BitLocker recovery mode after repeated reboots. The update caused hardware connected via USB and Bluetooth, such as keyboards and printers, to malfunction, indicated by a yellow exclamation mark under the USB Host Controller in Device Manager. To resolve these issues, Microsoft implemented a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to reverse the problematic update and is working on integrating this fix into an upcoming Windows update. Administrators managing affected Windows enterprise devices can resolve the issue by installing the Windows 11 22H2 KB5043145 240904_041021 KIR Group Policy, which requires a system restart to apply. Microsoft has previously addressed similar issues with updates affecting Windows Server 2019 and other versions.
